Several times a year I am canvassed for my opinion on the Australian Government and Opposition, their policies and their leadership. In the last survey, there were new questions on demographics and whether one’s religious conviction affected the way you would vote. I thought this was an interesting series of questions and worth exploring further from a Christian perspective. It also raised the question in me about how we support different candidates (parties) according to their education policies.
Hypothyroidism is a common medical problem easily treated when diagnosed but requiring regular follow-up and patient medication compliance. At times, this diagnosis can go untreated resulting in the development of severe consequences such as Myxedema Coma. Of all the clinical symptoms, cardiovascular manifestations tend to be especially severe and often life threatening.
