We know this because he ADAMANTLY insisted that it is unnecessary to test PTH because it WILL ALWAYS be out of range...too high...no matter what I do.
Soooooo, in sending over my last labs, I included my last TWO PTH results...nine years post-op...which were 58 and 55 (lower would be nicer, but this works), range 15-65.
He was digging in arguing with me, but--with med students standing there--he was never going to back down. Next visit, I think I might ask if, since the PTH results are within range, it would HURT anything to just go ahead and test that, too. <sarcasm font> Because, you know, I'm probably the only one on the planet who has within range PTH post-DS, so maybe we should keep an eye on it to see how long that lasts. </sarcasm font>
