In this high yield podcast, I discuss confirmatory testing for a host of endocrine related pathologies. The USMLEs love to test these in familiar and unfamiliar situations that occasionally step out of classic norms. I highlight a few of these scenarios and permutations so you’re well versed and ready to tackle whatever presents on your exam (especially arrows and what certain strange results mean).
