We usually change cc to mL but in that case it does not seem appropriate.

Thanks for any input anyone out there can give me! Maggie ...

So I'm not completely clear on this. I know liquid measurements are grammatically to be treated singly--"20 mL of normal saline was given." My question is whether this applies when it's not necessarily a liquid measurement but is currently applied to a liquid. The sentence is "Then, 4000 units of heparin [was/were] given." I want to pick 'were', mainly because 'was' sounds wrong and 'units' are not a solely liquid measurement like m ...

Some representative examples I see all the time: S ...
