- We're back with another edition of Royters Goiters!
This is a story about a patient getting very bad advice which led to a life threatening condition.
Today's patient is a young man in his 30s with a 15-year history of a mass in his thyroid. The mass was very, very large, but because of his weight it was difficult to notice.
He wasn't really experiencing any symptoms and was told time and time again by doctors that if it wasn't bothering him, it wasn't a problem. He continued to monitor it with ultrasounds.
By the time he started experiencing significant symptoms, the mass had grown into his chest and he was told by his doctors that it was too late to do anything about it. So again, he did nothing.
His symptoms got so severe that he could not walk, breath, or sleep normally. He even needed a CPAP machine when he slept because he would stop breathing due to his trachea being compressed so badly by this mass.
Continue watching the full video to see this patient in the operating room, learn about how we treated him and hear how he is doing today.

Your amazing ! My surgery is March 11th and I feel like I’m in very good hands . God bless !
I'm one of Dr. Rashmi's patients. She made me feel comfortable that I was in safe hands even though I was in for a scary surgery.
I hope youre doing well, I'm soon to be one of her patients next month. l'm glad one of her video surgical procedures popped up on my YT feed, that's how I found her 😊
Omg poor guy!
I have a huge goiter that they are going to try to remove at the end of November. They tried to remove it last year but couldn't get it out. Now it's huge and every where. I've slept in a recliner for several years now. But the past two weeks I feel like I can't breath and I'm dizzy all of the time. And having unreal headaches.
Sorry to hear you are struggling. I would highly suggest getting to our hospital for an evaluation if you are able. We see many every day who had an unsuccessful surgery elsewhere or were told surgery wasn't possible. You can learn more and schedule some time to chat with me about your case here: www.thyroidcancer.com/surgery
Wow!
