Guest guest Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 You know, the good old days of medicine! Actually, I remember following total cholesterol levels when treating hypothyroidism. Honest to god, that was in the early 80's. You know, when we practiced with the dinosaurs, pre-cimetadine, ACE's and fluoxetine!
