[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A regular endocrinologist should be able to handle this. The pituitary is endocrinology mission control.[/quote]

Good luck with finding a good endocrinologist who truly cares and put dedication. I’m on my 7th endocrinologist   digging through answers that make sense.[/quote]

I also have had trouble finding good endocrinologists! Surprisingly, there are a lot who do mainly diabetes and[b] can’t reason their way through the complexity of the hormonal interrelationships in other diagnoses.[/b][/quote]

They can, but they specialize in diabetes.

If they are board certified in endocrinology, then they can do it. They just choose not to, and that's certainly permitted. [/quote]

Yes, they may be board certified in endocrinology, so they did know it at one time, but I actually had an endocrinologist laugh and say she hadn't thought about the Vitamin D, Calcium and PTH balance since med school.

Doctors can choose not to take patients who are not diabetic, but people are human and humans are complicated, so even diabetics can show up in your office with non-diabetes complications.  Doctors can choose not to remember or practice part of their endocrinology curriculum, but if as a result of that they miss a diagnosis, then they are potentially liable for that. [/quote]
