My brother was cut in an accident. the dr. in the er took part of his thyroid. was that necessary? wouldn't it have healed?

Not Sure: It all depends on the the type of injury. We dont have any info about the nature and severity of the injury. If it was to save his life or stop significant bleeding then it was absolutely necessary. Having said that, you can still have normal thyroid function if part of your thyroid is removed.
