I was waiting for my prescription at Walgreen's this morning when I noticed on the back shelf a large supply of boxed syringes in different sizes.
What struck me (aside from the medical world still being stuck with "cc's" rather than "ml") was that the major brand name used units like 1/10 cc or 1/2 cc. To Walgreen's credit, their house brand for the same products used "0.1 cc" and "0.5 cc". Funny how years ago it was the medical profession that was perceived by most Americans to be the major user (outside of science) of "metric". Now these units look downright hokey to me. Can't wait for them to upgrade to SI usage! Ezra
