This doctor is amazing at explaining physical exams. 10/10
This teacher is just amazing.
Exactly what I needed for thyroid assessment! Thank you!
Best demo I've seen of this exam. Thanks!
You are a wonderful doctor and a wonderful teacher, Dr. Verghese
I was never the best of thyroid examiners. So, of course, the patient assigned to me for the final practical exam. in internal medicine was a deaf woman with a small, solitary nodule in the left lobe of her thyroid gland. Luckily (yes, "luckily" is the appropriate word) I found it!
Excellent explanation and approach
I went for an exam & the doctor decided to examine my thyroid. She told me to take off my T-shirt and tilt my head back and raise my chest to the ceiling by arching my back (exactly like the Fish Pose in yoga). Then she quickly JAMMED her pointer & middle fingers into that space between my clavical and she kept pressing deeper & harder & i told her she was hurting me & she jammed in even harder. After she did that, I had severe pain in that area. I could barely swallow for 6 months!!! and it gave me laryngitis for a year!!!
I had so much trouble swallowing& talking now, that I had to get Physical Therapy for it because of the non-stop pressure on my throat, and I kept swallowing air and getting painful hiccups that sounded like a wild beast rather than a human hiccup.
It was one of the worst things that ever happened to me in my life!!
It has been 6 YEARS since she did that to me and I STILL have the same horrible symptoms; and I cannot even wear a light chain or necklace, a turtle neck sweater, or even a scarf around my neck, without it disrupting my ability to swallow, causing pressure pain, and causing these beastly Hiccups that terrify anyone i'm around.
??Have you ever heard of an exam like this?? WHAT did she do to me??
I believe she severely violated me.
Shouldn't this have healed after 6 years???!!! WHAT did she do to my healthy thyroid, trachea, esophagus, and my total throat area mechanics?
I am still beyond devastated and the worst part is that there was absolutely NOTHING wrong with my thyroid to even merit this so-called exam!
Thank you so much for explaining this.
Please advise me.

I take 50mg thyroxine medicine when my tsh level 6.85. Now my tsh level is 0.05. What power medicine to take?
How great he is
What if i can't feel my Thyroid bone cause i feel it damaged and needs repair if still possible. I used to feel it until recently that it got damaged by somemany random things i did. Now i just want to know if it could still get repaired back to normal please. I can't even sing nor talk best
The sle lupus caused me to lose both thyroid glands when it attacked them, I take thyroid meds for life now, it was awful when it attacked them I almost died it caused my glands to grow fast they were big almost two baseballs and they gave off an bad stink odor.
Can we add testing for exophthalmos also?
But exophtalmos is infrecuent in hyperthyroidism. About 20%of patients with Graves' disease present it.
What examine to do in retrosternal thyroid?
Dr. Abraham Verghese?
I’m red in the face watching this
I have a small firm/hard not very movable lump the size of an uncooked rice on the left side near the middle/tip of the thyroid cartilage slightly lower than the actual Adam’s apple (where it points out the most). Nothing on my right side....also a swollen thyroid especially the left thyroid? Anything to worry about?
did it ever go away or you still have the lump?
can thyroid cancer comes with out giving any big sign of the neck?
please answer I am scared
There are many different types of thyroid cancer but they are all similar in that they would all be unlikely to present without a neck mass - whether this is a thyroid nodule or enlarged lymph nodes. Other symptoms may include difficulty breathing and/or swallowing, hoarseness of the voice, and occasionally cough. In any case, it is best to see a doctor if you are worried, they will be able to physically examine you and conduct any investigations necessary to address your concerns.
I've had sweaty palms ever since elementary, or... as young as I could remember. I am 22 now. This means I've had hyperthyroid FOR OVER 15+ YEARS! Oh yeah I also have many symptoms of it.. haha
I also had sweaty palms nonstop during my primary schoolyears/Elementary School. It got worse when I entered highschool to the extent where my legs started to sweat while in school. It's not as bad as it was but I sweat really badly at times.
What does it means if there's a fine tremor???
Might indicate hyperthyroidism
They don't do this at any doctors I've had.
Throat soiling but my blood is clear there is no problem in my blood wats reason???
It depends on what specific blood tests were taken
Did you take a thyroid function test? And did you go to a doctor so as to take a proper history and examination?
why the sweating hands and tremor ?
+Bridget McGuigan for hyperthyroidism symptoms
its indicate hyperthyroidism
"as if i am going to choke the patient"
the patient:
