Thank you! Thank you! This podcast is SO what I needed to hear this very day. I dream of finding a warm and fuzzy endocrinologist..even just to validate my feelings and concerns. I think that’s a long ways off. Thanks for respecting our intelligence and our need for more knowledge. I’ll be looking forward to more!
I just got to listen to this! Wow, wish I had heard it before I went to my first doctor’s appointment! Would have saved myself a lot of time and money. Mary is fabulous! She tells it like it is!
Can’t wait for another podcast!
I so enjoyed listening to this…and felt like I was right there with you gals!
I really enjoyed listening to Podcast just now and the interview with Mary. great interview with fab answers.
Look forward to the next installment, plus I got to hear all your accents!!!
AWWWW We <3 you!!! Thank you for your support! Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks Kathy!! Glad you enjoyed it! And, we dream of that DR too.
mom2wildthings,
Thanks so much for listening to and enjoying the podcast!! Yes, Mary is a wealth of knowledge and invaluable to us thyroid peeps. Can’t wait to make the next one and share it with you all… will be out at the end of this month!!
Awww Cindi, SOOOO GLAD you liked it! That’s how we want you all to feel — like a thyroid chit chat session.
You’re the best! Thanks for listening!
Oh yay!! We’ve got many more in store for you over the next few months, with super special guests! Keep an ear out for those episodes. Glad you liked this one!
And tell me more about these accents. What did Katie and Liz sound like, respectively??? I’m dying to know what we sound like to your British ears!
What did Katie and Liz sound like to me coming from a British perspective?
Katie:- You’ve got one of those sensual voices, just like myself must be a Graves things I get so many prank calls just to hear my voice kind of scenario and I love the way you pronounce Endocrinologist, It just lingers on the tongue. I used to call him a Endocriminologist until I realised I’d been spelling it wrong all this time, I expected Kate to have a hint of Brit well Northern accent like “Makin” and the laugh is honest, and again dirty kind of laugh. and the humour is even better.
Liz:- I can tell you are young at heart, sweet kind of voice, and easy to understand accent not too strong don’t ask me where you come from. It’s very hard to describe someones accent although you will say you don’t have one we all do, depending on what region you come from.
Mary’s accent was so easy to listen too, so witty too. Nothing how I imagined it.
Aww, Lolly we LOVE this comment.
Made me smile. You’re so nice. So glad you liked it all.
I’ve got to say I love the American accent, think you’d have a hard job understanding me i talk so fast and with my own accent a mixture of brummie black country and where I live now, I pick accents up so easily.
I must say in the interview with Mary I got a good tips that I will be using when I see the specialist next week not to Rabbit on, crack jokes, be sarcastic, rant like a women possessed but just go there with my symptoms and Quantify them as Mary suggested, I always take someone with me anyway stems back from the early days of not remembering anything i was going to say writing it all down and then forgetting my list.
I don’t expect to have anything good coming out of this appointment but I’m certainly going to give it my best shot.
Fork in Mouth disease, boy if anyone had said that to me they would have got a sock in mouth.
Thank you Mary Kate and Liz for a really great interview and I look forward to the next installment.
Lolly
Thanks Lolly! We’re those some great ideas and tips Mary gave us? Yeah, fork-in-mouth disease sounds like a good way for a DR to not have to do his job. Hmmm. Anywhoo, let us know if those work out for you!!
