Thanks. I thought there was a rule that under 50,000 didn't require a comma. - MT28

the rule is under 10,000 - sm
[ In Reply To ..]No commas are to be used in numerals under 10,000. The reason is the comma could be mistaken for a period, as there are some values, e.g. specific gravity 1.068, that have more than 2 numerals following the period.
9
10
99
100
999
1000 (no comma)
9999 (no comma)
10,000
99,999
100,000
999,999
1,000,000 or 1 million
Thanks all - MT28

1:1000 Epinephrine?
Aug 26, 2010
I have a report here on an excision of a mass on the cheek. This dictator talks very fast, but in the anesthesia section, it sounds like he is saying Xylocaine with 1:1000 epinephrine. I have never heard anything below 1:100,000 before, but it sure sounds like 1000. Is it used like that, or is he just talking too fast? Thank you! ...
