Raising Awareness
The aim of the book is to raise awareness of the misinterpretation of thyroid function test results, to help people become informed so that they may make informed decisions.
The book chronicles my own personal story and other peoples stories, also my research, whereby I identify the flaw in the present system of interpreting thyroid functions test results.
There is a chapter on "What's Happening Out There'. In many cases this does not present a pretty picture. Too many patients are fobbed off, belittled, and even bullied by the medical profession. One quote from a consultant to a patient, "You can't grow hair under youre arms because you are too fat". Another patient was losing the outer third of her eyebrows and she was told by her GP, "You must have overplucked them in the sixties". Losing hair is a sign of a low thyroid function.
This is followed by my conclusion and 7 recommendations.
The objective is to bring about a change in clinical practice, whereby the blood test result is not the sole determining factor for diagnosis but that signs,symptoms, and history and a clinical appraisal is taken into consideration
