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.
