  1. Great episode! Truelearn states that uncontrolled hypothyroidism can decrease MAC requirements and increase sensitivity to anesthetics secondary to the CNS depression. Just wondering your thoughts on this? I know that the Qbanks have small errors in them as well.

  2. I think potassium iodide can be used for thyroid storm, but thyroid hormone synthesis must first be blocked (PTU or methimazole at least one hour before); otherwise, iodine therapy can enhance hormone production and exacerbate the thyroid storm.
    Thank you for the amazing content!!

  3. Dear Dr Wolpaw

    So thank you for contributing to our education
    What you do out there is important!

  4. The recurrent laryngeal nerve is longer on the left not the right. I believe Dr Wollaston said it was longer on the right.
