Short educational YouTube video excerpt by McCall McPherson advising viewers on accurate diagnosis of thyroid conditions. Emphasizes ordering a full thyroid panel rather than relying solely on TSH, and notes that TSH alone can be misleading (e.g., TSH can be zero while thyroid function is normal).

So it is so incredibly important, and you guys hear me say this to people with hypothyroidism, but it is incredibly important that you are checking a full thyroid panel. You are not simply diagnosing someone or getting diagnosed with Graves disease by way of a TSH or hyperthyroidism by way of a tsh, because that is wildly invalid. People's TSH can be zero and they can have normal thyroid function.
