Um...wow.... We have a severe and worsening shortage of endocrinologists. Right now, there are an estimated 4,000 endocrinologists in the United States who are serving as many as 100 million Americans -- with diabetes, fertility problems, polycystic ovary syndrome, osteoporosis, Graves disease, thyroid cancer, etc. -- who reasonably need to be seen by an endocrinologist. Thats one endocrinologist for every 25,000 people who need one. Given such a shortage, most endocrinologists simply do not have the time -- much less the inclination -- to do time-consuming detective work with patients who do not have life-threatening thyroid conditions.
