About the thyroid: We all have a thyroid. Otherwise, a person would not have thyroid hormone, and would be detected from the newborn screen done on a baby's blood prior to leaving the hospital after birth. If not detected then, the primary care doctor doing infant check-ups will detect the problem due to poor growth or development of the baby. Later in life, some people have had their thyroid removed by surgery.
