The Mayo Clinic is where from Mediboard took her son Austin, who is 9

with Graves and TED. They recommended RAI for this child. Nice. World

renowned facilities can have quacks on staff.

You know what I find terribly offensive? that our Medical profession

people feel that they could even offer such a radical thing to a

person for a child so young, who can't even have a say so in his or

her treatment! ackkk!

So much for specialists. They only know what they are taught, and

they are taught that it's easier to treat hypo's than hypers. And

let's face it, they are only looking at cost in the longrun. Cuz

later it's just 'your problem' if they can't get the replacement

right. double sigh
