Yon parchment doth proclaim, scallywags be misusing their spyglasses on thy neck! Arr, tis a folly!

Arr, 'tis a curious tale! Out o' all the fancy new thyroid ultrasounds done at a grand tertiary care place, only a measly quarter spotted them pesky nodules that be needin' a poke, while a hearty 40% found nary a one! Aye, strange times indeed!
In the language of a swashbuckling pirate from the 17th century, arrr, there be news from the medical realm that be ticklin' me funny bone! According to the scallywags at Medscape Medical News, it seems that in a certain grand medical establishment, only a quarter of the fancy new thyroid ultrasounds be findin' those pesky nodules that be needin' a poke with a biopsy needle.Arrr, ye see, these landlubber doctors be usin' this ultrasoun' contraption to search for these suspicious lumps on the thyroid, but it seems they be only findin' a quarter of 'em. Aye, ye heard me right, 40% of these scurvy ultrasounds be comin' up empty-handed, no nodules to be seen! Avast ye, that be quite a number, I say!
Now, me hearties, I be wonderin' what these doctors be thinkin'. If ye be performin' a test to find somethin' as important as a biopsy-recommended nodule, wouldn't ye be wantin' to find 'em all? I mean, what be the point of this fancy contraption if it can't even spot the troublesome nodules? It be like searchin' for buried treasure and only findin' a few gold doubloons, while the rest be hidden in Davy Jones' locker!
But, me mates, let's not be too harsh on these scallywags. They be tryin' their best, I reckon. Maybe this fancy ultrasound be havin' a mind of its own, or maybe the nodules be playin' a game of hide and seek. Who knows? All I be sayin' is, if ye be needin' a proper diagnosis, it might be best to find ye a doctor with a good ol' fashioned eye for spotin' those troublesome thyroid nodules.
