This is as good a time as any to make my announcement. I've been attending medical school since August of 2007, so I'll be able to comment from time to time on the state of SI within medicine.
We are just starting the new semester, and first order of business is hematology, with some focus on laboratory medicine. There looks to be a move from "conventional" units to SI units (conventional being the old xx/dL values); however, IU's are still used even with the SI terms. For instance, a conversion table shows that 24 IU/dL is 240 IU/L, etc. Remek --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > I didn't know doctors were still prescribing in IUs (see article below). > > > > An excellent reason (as Paul has pointed out in the past) for > standardizing on SI. > > > > Ezra > >
