N2 - This report describes the appearance of thyrotoxicosis over the past 8 yr in 3 male physicians working in the Division of Endocrinology at The Mount Sinai Hospital. Since no other instances of hyperthyroidism developed among the hospital medical or dental attending staff, to the authors' knowledge, during the years of 1953 to 1973, this incidence appears to indicate an unusual occurrence. (Information regarding other possible instances of thyrotoxicosis was obtained by questioning all of the physicians in the Division of Endocrinology at The Mount Sinai Hospital, members of the Division of Endocrinology at the other major institutions in the city and, finally, inquiry of the physicians in the Department of Medicine at The Mount Sinai Hospital.)
