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)?
This is an online E logbook to discuss our patient's de-identified health data shared after taking his/her/guardian's signed informed consent. Here we share our individual patient's problems for learning inputs from the available global online communities of experts with an aim to solve that patient's clinical problems with collective current best evidence-based inputs. This E logbook also reflects my patient-centered online learning portfolio.
