The error in reading prescriptions such as the one
that killed the child might have been avoided if the ANMC Metric Editorial Guide
of August 1990 was followed. The Guide clearly states in Section
3.5:
"A zero before the decimal point should be used in
numbers between 1 and -1 to prevent the possibility that a faint decimal point
will be overlooked."
This should be used no matter which units or system
of units are used. This issue is completely separate from the
mbar vs hPa vs kPa issue.
