Published: Aug. 3, 2020, 7 a.m.

Blazing hot tips to diagnose and treat hyperthyroidism with Dr Eve Bloomgarden, @evebmd (Northwestern). We cover a ton of ground including how to: interpret thyroid function tests, use your thumbs (or an ultrasound) to examine the thyroid, become an expert on Graves\u2019 orbitopathy, prescribe methimazole and decide who needs surgery or radioactive iodine therapy. Plus, a bit on subclinical hyperthyroidism. This episode is on fire!
