Dr. Curry then finished off the conference with his "Mastering Minor Care" segment on epistaxis.
Interpretation of Thyroid Studies in the Emergency Department
Thyroid studies, often lying in the depths of any medical student differential, are an important tool in the Emergency Physician's toolkit, and knowing what to order when is a key part of using them wisely. This week, Dr. Makinen gives us a breakdown of thyroid pathology and testing.
