A member asked:
I was cut by accident in my neck. the doctor removed the left side of my thyroid gland. was that necessary? wouldn't it have healed on its own?

Depends on the damag: I would trust you doctor in that case, i'm sure if it didn't need to be taken out he would not as assumed the extra risks of surgery.
