Posted on October 30, 2013 by tazscott

I personally, have had many different doctors tell me many different things, all under the guise of “normal” test results.  It wasn’t until I started demanding to see the actual results, that I learned that “normal” is defined differently by … Continue reading →

Posted on September 17, 2012 by tazscott

Update to last update [http://blog.scottsontherocks.com/blog/2012/09/04/thyroid-update/] Ultrasound (x2) was fine.  The “thing” Doc felt is same anomaly discovered during last ultrasound: [http://blog.scottsontherocks.com/blog/2011/09/19/thyroid-ultrasound/].
