Wow. Where do you make this stuff up? I assure you, we use the metric system here in our medical protocols. And I've seen, well, probably a lot of records...
(And yes, there are times English units sneak in, in descriptive material, but metric is used for anything of importance...)
My physician uses lbs for my medical record. Dr. NOW on the TV show “my 600 pound life “has a scale that measures in pounds. They talk about pounds in weight loss, The primary reason why those patients are under his care.That is not important?
At least it’s not “stones” Because I am lost when the English based TV shows talk in stones.
When your doctor is calculating dosages, does he use pounds and teaspoons? When he looks at your chart with your self-reported weight, or the weight off the pounds-calibrated scale, and calculates a dosage for a medicine, does he convert to kg before he bothers to write it down?
Are people using SI units in medical practice from Russia or China, as our resident Q-Anon expert asserts?
Good gosh.
A lot of my goat meds are dosed in mg/kg - which has made me very careful about math because my weight tape is in pounds (I learned a cc is a cubic centimeter is also a ml!) fun fact though - the ivermectin label is conveniently in pounds.
