Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I have just been watching ER. In it there was a case where a woman was very ill and they were treating her wrongly (well I think that was the story), anyhow to cut to the chase it turned out she had adrenal sufficiency. The ER staff were being told off for not treating her correctly. One of them said that how were they to know it was adrenal insufficiency as it was very rare and they hardly ever saw a case of it. The boss told them that in fact they probably saw quite a lot of it, but they RARELY diagnosed it. Now that struck a bell. Lilian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 There you go... same old story throughout the world. If doctors are not being taught about the endocrine system and the importance of hormones, how can they diagnose and treat? Luv - Sheila I have just been watching ER.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Hi Gillian, Some folk are adrenalin junkies, but that is a very different thing to having cortisol levels high enough to lead what folk would call a normal life. It's not abnormal to rush around in the teenage years- that's what teenagers do! Subject: Adrenal insufficiency Damon Hill says that he now has to find a way of getting a massive adrenalin rush EVERY DAY to compensate for the adrenalin he used to get when he was racing fast cars years ago. Thyroid and adrenal insufficiency goes hand in hand so I am wondering now if do seriously need to get my adrenals checked good and proper. Perhaps I also need a daily jump start to kick my adrenals into touch? I'll be interested to read your ideas about this.
