Abstract
I am writing to challenge certain statements made in Charlotte Aldermans' article 'Unproductive Labour' (Nursing Standard May 21 1988). To quote 'It is now clear that the combined pill is a cause of venous thrombosis and embolism, thrombotic stroke and myocardial infarction.' I would suggest that this situation is still far from 'clear', that the statement has been taken out of context, and as such is alarmist in the extreme. As is: 'the association between pill taking and carcinoma of fhe cervix has been made but is not yet established' - the implication being that this is only a matter of time and as such may also cause considerable anxiety.
