A direct quote from this site -
[ "A question often raised by patients is: “Why doesn’t my physician know about the inaccuracies and limitations of standard thyroid tests?” The reason is that the overwhelming majority of physicians (endocrinologists, internists, family practitioners, rheumatologists, etc.) do not read medical journals.] "
A lot to read on this site, good stuff so far, almost to detailed for the average newbie to thyroid disease, but interesting for thyroid veterans.
Never heard of this site / association before.
Also the articles all along the left side are really good. Of particular note, I found the articles interesting under the orange heading of "Thyroid Hormone Transport". Specifically the "Conditions associated with abnormal thyroid transport". As my wife had several of those conditions and allowed the Dr to have a reason why she needed to have blood labs of FT4 and FT3 to be higher than would "otherwise" seem necessary in order for her to feel well!
