So I'm studying...

I'm studying endocrine right now...specifically the thyroid...even more specifically cretinism. Did you know that cretin comes from the French word Chretien, which means Christlike? People affected by cretinism were considered incapable of sinning.

I'm an endocrinologist so I love the thyroid! I didn't know where the word came from though, so I will need to share this with all my colleagues. My consultants will be so impressed! Thank you.
