Comments on other papers, case reports, and editing chapters is not a published trial in the area of breed specific thyroid monitoring. She has not published in a peer reviewed journal that her protocol is any better then anything else. Questioning a clinician's protocol is not rude. To say that is uniformed and actually quite silly and shows poor understanding of how the medical community functions. I in fact have a paper in press that counters a paper written by renound expert in trauma in regards to the appropriate treatment of colonic injury (primary anastomosis vs. colostomy and surgical education). Any expert should be able to back up their recommendations with research or evidence and understand that things changes as new advances become available. It's astounding to me that you would imply that it's not rude to tell one vet "i'm paying you do what I want" but it is rude to question another. I think it is clear who the rude people are here. The people who actually care about what happens to these poster's pets want the best information given with the most amount of support, not to feel like the expert and be free from questioning. Every time on the human threads I give an answer and some one asks a question, I respond. It's not rude to question, it's appropriate. Again, I stress it's important to understand how to evaluate things you see on the net and understand how to read research if you are giving advice. It's fine to say in my experience this worked, it's not fine to imply that the poster's vet is incompetent when you know better when you don't.
