Patient's problem in her narratives:

I am a 23 years old women

1.    In 2012, suddenly I started to have abdominal pain and after investigations doctors found that I have renal stone. One month after taking medicines and water, the stone removed out from my body.
2.    In 2015, again I experienced an abdominal pain and after investigation again doctors found renal stone. That time also after taking one month of medicines and water, the stone had removed out from my body.
3.    In 2016, this time I was pregnant and due to burning micturition and abdominal pain I had been investigated which revealed 3 stones in both kidneys.
4.    In 2017, at the beginning and in the month of April, I had a mild pain when it again revealed 2 renal stones (both at early 2017 and in April) and it also resolved by taking water for some days. During this period I couldn’t take medicines as I was pregnant and had been breast feeding.
5.    In December 2017 (Few days back), after mild abdominal pain, there was 4 renal stones.

So, the journey of renal stones started from 2012 which used to be coming recurrently and resolving with taking medicines and water.

57 Year Old female with goiter and thyrotoxicosis

This 57 year olf lafy presented with neck swelling, anxiety and tremor. Her medical information is attached below: We need to take a decision on this lady. To operate or not to operate. Now that our clinical suspicions of thyroticosis have been proved and malignancy not proved (not disproved either) what would be the next best step? Medical management for her thyrotoxicosis or still get an excision biopsy with sub total thyroidectomy (and subtotal thyroidectomy other than disproving malignancy will also become treatment for her hyperthyroidism). So which one should we prefer (if the family has no reservations from their side)?
