In STEM, our groups were assigned to research about a disease. My group was assigned to research about Turner Syndrome. We had to find symptoms, causes and treatments to Turner Sydrome. After fully understanding about our disease, we each became a patient and groups of doctors asked us questions. They took notes to diagnose the patients based on their symptoms. Then, we searched the causes behind each symptoms to support our claim of the disease with evidence. In the end, our group learned that shortage in the endocrine system causes serious medical conditions. It's usually caused by certain hormones not functioning properly. I have diagnosed a patient with Grave’s disease (immune system disorder). Thyroid is a large ductless gland in the neck that secretes hormones regulating growth and development through the rate of metabolism(google definition). Thyroid gland uses iodine to make and release thyroid hormone to our body. Thyroid hormone regulate vital body functions such as breathing, central and peripheral nervous systems, body weight, muscle strength, menstrual cycle, body temperature, cholesterol level and more. My patient came to me with many symptoms. She is 15 years old, 5’8’’ tall, and weigh 120 lbs. She had anxiety problem, sensitivity to heat, and easily fatigued for last two months. She also had many physical problems. She had chest pain, vision problem, and hand tremors. I came to a conclusion that she had vision problem from tissues around her eyes swelling and immune cells attacking the thyroid gland. This led the thyroid gland to provide too much thyroid. When the thyroid gland is too active producing too much thyroid, it also causes racing heart or extremely fast irregular heartbeat which gives the patient a chest pain and difficulty breathing.
