Well, the @FDA is at it again!
While blind to the mRNA shots and their harm, they are working to REMOVE dessicated thyroid medications from the market.
Short thread on how this negatively impacts patients.
fda.gov/drugs/enforcem…
The majority of doctors base thyroid management on getting the labs right--labs based on sick people--not optimization.
They ignore patients who are tired, cold, gaining weight and hair shedding but instead say "Your labs are normal"

A little intro 🧵
Before covid, I was just a doc running vents in the ICU, but there's a little more to the story . . .
Here's some highlights of what happened prior to covid-mania.
This is a photo of me supervising residents on a surgical mission trip to Honduras, July 2010.
I finished general surgery residency in 2009.
You need 400 majors and 800 total cases to graduate.
I had >800 majors and >2000 total cases.
I'm a huge advocate of community training programs over academic centers, because it was so robust.
I had the good fortune to be trained by some of the most thoughtful, caring surgeons I've ever met.

🚨 Big medicine/insurance horror story!
My friend (and patient) is a lovely lady who has CF (cystic fibrosis). A genetic illness that alters salt excretion.
This makes mucus in the lungs thicker and prone to infections that become hard to treat.
It reduces digestive enzymes from the pancreas.
Nearly 7 years ago, she became pregnant and was told to abort her baby.
She is now mom to 3 beautiful girls and has another on the way. 💗💗💗❤️
