  • http://www.ectopic.org.uk/patients/diagnosis/ Diagnosing an ectopic pregnancy - The Ectopic Pregnancy Trust - Ectopic pregnancy can be difficult to diagnose because its symptoms can suggest other, more usual, conditions such as gastroenteritis, miscarriage or even appendicitis. The more you can tell a doctor about what has changed, what feels different and what is worrying you, the more likely they are to be able to diagnose you.

  • http://www.ectopic.org.uk/professionals/morbidity/ Morbidity in ectopic pregnancy - The Ectopic Pregnancy Trust - As trainee gynaecologists, one of the first things we learn is the idea that a women with pain, bleeding and almost any symptoms has an ectopic pregnancy until proved otherwise.

  • leo-iii - Watch out! DOn't buy this unlesws you are prepared to pay $2 per employee per month!

    This product is most incompletely described here on Amazon. You are told that the enhanced payroll does direct deposit for you. Well, we don't need that, but the $99 additional that I spent for a year of payroll service was attractive so I bought the bundled product. Well, when I came to activate the product I was told by Intuit that there was a charge of $2 per month per employee because of the free facility to do direct deposit. Free, my arse! The integrated payroll, I was told, is Symphony payroll. Also not part of the description here.

  • Carolyn Brodeur - Microsoft is Regressing

    I have been a loyal Microsoft user since 1997. When other people raved about Adobe InDesgin is was bragging about the great publications that I could create using Publisher. Publisher 2010 was fantastic and I'm grateful that I still have access to it at work. However, I updated my personal laptop at home and had no choice but to go with 2013. It has lost a lot of it's functionality.
