They should never bother to ask. They should measure the patient themselves
in metric and record what the instruments say. Just like they don't ask a
patient what his blood pressure or temperature is. If they need to know
they should measure it.

Subject: [USMA:34578] Patient height and mass
If someone at the hospital asks a patient his height and mass, the form
specifying metric units for these, and he answers in feet and pounds, what
happens? Does she ask him again, specifying meters and kilograms, or does
she
convert the figures?
