Yes, but if you write a note saying that you give them permission to

give YOUR name to other patients, or that you would appreciate it if

they ask the others if THEY are ok to have you call them, that should

work.

I gave a card to my endo with my name and number and email address,

and told him to please give that info to any of his current/future

thyca patients. He mentioned that he just did, though I haven't heard

from them. He also is giving info for ThyCa and this group to

patients. Spread the word :-)
