  • These are likely not the drab, standard, facility-provided surgical or operating scrubs that even the I.T. staff has to change in to (or don over top) before crossing the red line into a clean zone, ‘red’ room or room with isolation precautions. These are the other personally-supplied garments staff wear to look professional in a medical setting. These are the same ones that are sometimes replaced with T-shirts and such on casual friday or department-coordinated Hallowe’en costumes on October 31.

    I know you wouldn’t multiply exponents that way unless it’s an exponent of an exponent. In any case, it’s the only way I can make the term “mcg” actually make sense.
    Think of it as giving someone the benefit of the doubt to the point of absurdity.

    Micrograms? You mean millicentigrams, commonly abbreviated as mcg by people who avoid proper SI- symbols?

    Since milli means 1/10^3 and centi means 1/10^2, I propose millicenti means 1/10^(3*2) or 1/10^6.

    Or the extended keycode-averse could just use ug.
