Just Curious……how many Drs in the USA have GD themselves, or a family member with Graves? And how much do they currently teach on it in med school ? Do they teach PA’s about it in school?

That is an interesting question, and one to which I have a small answer! Over the years, we have had doctors who have Graves’ themselves – 2 psychiatrists, 1 OB/Gyn, 1 Endo. Of those, all have had family members with Graves’. We have had a couple who were raised by a parent with Graves’.

It gives a great line of insight into both their presentations, and their approach to their patients.
