My friend seen i specialist and was told she had multiple small goiters on her thyroid and dr's did nothing why?

If they are small and not causing swallowing or breathing problems, you can monitor them with periodic ultrasound and biopsy if they grow or changing significantly. Most likely your friend nodules are still small so the specialist opted to just follow them.
