Endocrine Disorders: Evaluation and Treatment

The endocrine system produces hormones that control many of the body's vital functions. In this video, Dr. John Olson, head of the division of general and oncologic surgery at the University of Maryland Medical Center, explains the important functions of the endocrine system -- which includes the thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal glands. He also discusses risk factors for endocrine tumors and other disorders, and when it may be appropriate for a patient to consult with an endocrine surgeon.

Dr. Olson is a nationally respected surgeon-scientist who specializes in endocrine and oncologic surgery, with an emphasis on cancer of the parathyroid glands, thyroid, and breast.

how should I look for an endocrinologist

[mycoffeemyday]

Gonna attempt to return to healthy eating and regular exercise. Now, feel so overwhelmed and stuck. Asperger's is a really big inconvenience. Reading dictionaries since I can remember. Words, it's bad when you see a word and the desire to look up its meaning is like dictionaries too they bring calmness, except when a word can't be looked up immediately.
