Notes on patient questions

Every day when I return home, I habitually answer questions from patients on the website. Although many of them had never met, I could feel the expectation and urgency from their words. If I can solve some problems as much as I can, I can sleep at night and feel secure. Due to the unfamiliarity of people with thyroid disease, many of the messages were very brief and did not provide valuable information. So much so that I had to ask a lot of questions. This delays everyone’s time. Often, I can only be online for a little while each day, and it takes several days to talk about one thing.
