Doctors are Intellectually Lazy: Maybe it's time to start looking elsewhere for answersi

I'm beginning to think a lot of the problems I've been having are caused by a thyroid problem, and there are a number of symptoms and now three tests that indicate this.  The most obvious test is, of course, the elevated thyroid antibodies. (There's also finding a fluid-filled cyst in my thyroid, but I understand that is merely a consequence.) The other two tests are the cholesterol test performed a while ago and a triglyceride test performed a few days ago.  Both of these numbers were slightly elevated.  Slightly elevated numbers of these things can also point to a thyroid problem.   Naturally, because the doctors have enough clues to assume that something might be going on with my thyroid, they assume the cholesterol and triglyceride numbers occurred because I'm overweight.

The programmer in me really wants to sit them down and explain to them how conditional statements work.
