Xylocaine Prn S/l Staph coaliginase Prior To Domomer
May 03, 2011
This is dictated in the med list: Xylocaine prn s/l staph coaliginase prior to domomer on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I have no idea what this could mean. He could be butchering staph coagulase in the first part, but I still have not idea how that fits in.

Cc Or ML When Used For Nonliquid Measurements?
Apr 21, 2010
Hi all, Out of curiousity, we have some radiology doctors here who use the abbreviation 'cc' when referring to measurements that are non-liquid. We usually change cc to mL but in that case it does not seem appropriate. Has anyone else come across this and is this the proper abbreviation to use, or is there another one we should know about, or are the doctors using the incorrect terms? Thanks for any input anyone out there can give me! Maggie ...

Was/were In Regard To Liquid Measurements
Apr 21, 2011
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 ...
