Thyroid GP treatment seems to be a case of " identify and forget", (identifying usually done by the patient.) There appears no real follow up or concern on having regular blood tests or symptom checking for the patient once this is confirmed. Very little information is given to the patient about the downside of levothryoxine, so any after effects come as a surprise only to the patient, who then has to make another appointment to find out about them. Pretty poor show all round on this specific disease management.
