Micrograms, Milligrams and Grams

[helvella]

Some time ago I was frustrated with the inconsistency of medicine in handling units - different abbreviations, seemingly random switches between units, etc. Therefore I wrote a document to try to help members of the Thyroid UK forum to understand better.

Have just been asked to post a link to it here as well, so here goes!

I can’t get in on my iPad, all I get is an empty oblong shaped box. Same with the other message. I don’t have Dropbox.

You do not need Dropbox.

Are you sure it isn't downloading the document? And just leaving you to open it.

When I try on my iPhone, I get a message saying Do you want to download "helvella - Micrograms Milligrams ad Grams.pdf"? - and a blue Download option.

If that doesn't work for you, try this:

dropbox.com/s/h63dzfr9o4jr8...

The only difference is that the last character has been changed from 1 to 0. It might then open on your browser.
