Thyroid Disease: A Case-Based and Practical Guide for Primary Care is designed to help primary care doctors diagnose and manage patients with thyroid disease in the office. It includes case studies to illustrate the problems and discussions of how to go about testing, arrive at a diagnosis, and initiate treatment and follow up evaluations. Part I presents cases illustrating the more common thyroid problems seen in practice and includes a brief discussion of thyroid physiology and testing. Part II covers the more difficult and challenging thyroid problems and includes expert views on some controversial issues in the management of the thyroid patient.

From the reviews: "...an excellent book on an important topic written for primary care physicians in a style that makes for enjoyable reading that is easily translated into useful lessons for patient care." -Neil S. Skolnik, MD, Temple University School of Medicine "Thyroid Disease ... is a slim text that uses a case-based approach to illustrate the diagnosis and treatment of common thyroid disorders. ... This case-based approach results in a very readable and understandable textbook that reads like a conversation with a colleague or consultant. ... For the novice, the case-based approach provides a highly accessible introduction to thyroid disease. Similarly, this text is a useful reference for the general practitioner ... . Its strengths lie in its easy readability and size." (Christine G. Gourin, Head & Neck, Vol. 29, February, 2007) "...an interesting book, which takes the primary care physician on a memorable tour through a wide spectrum of thyroid disorders. The discussion is well-reasoned and should furnish practical help to a busy primary care practitioner." -TRENDS in Endocrinology and Metabolism
