Subject: Spell check is not always correct. If the

Medical spell check and word expander
Subject: Medical spell check and word expander
Hi, Could anyone tell me, please, where I can download a GOOD, but CHEAP Medical spellchecker and word expander program? I just got a new computer with Vista and my Shortcuts program or dictionary (Dorland's) will not work. I have been off work for a while and need desperately to work, but I'm lacking money to buy those. Info would be appreciated. I've spent hours looking on the Net. Thanks!!

"In women, although
not in all studies (22), a decline in both FSH and LH levels
occurs with age after menopause (19, 23), and decreased
gonadotropins secretion with age is also observed in aged
men (24)..."
I guess it would depend on what you patient is being studied for. It may not be LH at all? Sorry
