On second thoughts, and having my 2002 copy of AMH clarify another medical issue today,
it's a pretty good product. Example : a patient I just saw had seen another doctor who had
found he was hypothyroid with a TSH of 100 ; although he was not in a coma, he was put on
liothyroxine , which is T3 , and has a short half life, but is more active. On historical review,
I looked at his TSH results, and within 2 weeks it had dropped to near normal at 5.
Now the original doctor has left, and he is now on 2 thyroid replacement drugs, liothyroxine
and thyroxine. I told him that perhaps he shouldn't stay on the liothyroxine, and he
sort of treated me as some sort of idiot doctor who didn't know as much as the good ol' doctor
who fixed him. Fair enough. I told him that since his TSH was normal, I didn't really have
to change the treatment. He was also sceptical about my assertion that if the TSH is normal
in thyroid originating hypothyroidism, than it can be assumed the T3, and T4 would be normal.
I asked the senior doctor at our practice, and he said he would do the full T3, T4, TSH bit
whether it was hypothyroidism or suppression of hyperthyroidism drug treatment.
This caused enough cognitive dissonance for me to pull out my trusty battered AMH
and voila, there were the answers. But I'm still not updating to the next edition just yet,
and I have to have a think whether my tightarsed attitude is justified in this case, as
AMH has again shed some enlightening educational light to possibly make a difference
( or at least made me feel that I wasn't such a crap doctor after all).

Their claim is that the terms did not change for current subscribers. It did
change for new subscribers - I don't know as I cannot recall but I took his
word for it. Was interesting though that JvD and others was just as
forgetful as I was.

Surely they should inform customers when terms & conditrions change ?
Telstra, bank frequently send me mail with new terms & conditions mentioning
that old terms have changed ?

As it it, NOWADAYS practices on their web site are deceptive.
I reckon the onus would be on them to prove that it was different then.
NOWADAYS they don't even offer any means of downloading their terms and
conditions, and they don't mention the lock-in period elsewhere (unless I
was
unable to find it) - you have to cut and paste the whole shebang if you want
a copy of it, and in order to read it you have to use page-down 19 times
before you hit any relevant text in their poorly designed text box!
I made plenty of screenshots to prove it all.
Would be interesting to hear evidence from their web master in court
regarding site updates since you purchased
All I can say is that while I am still very impressed with the quality of
their product, I remeber now that I was not impressed at all with their
business practices in the past:
I purchased CD-ROMand book both online
After some time, I received only the book
Had to complain first to receive the CD (we all make mistakes) The price
included a free update for the July version It is the 28th of July - I still
haven't received any update Hey - maybe after this weekend they are even in
formal breach of contract with
me? Suppose they better hurry up. I have to thank you - without this
incident
I would have forgotten about the update they owe me.
