I'd probably change it to "... and he received approximately 40 stitches" unless I was on verbatim.

Subject: PS -Did you think to call a pharmacy? sm
This is what I did when something like this comes up. I know they want you to use the slightest amount possible, and usually never prescribe more than a small tube at a time. This is a very huge amount. I find pharmacists usually are very helpful if you don't ask them more than a few times a year. I would rather do this than say "a pound," just picture it in your head - that's a lot.

....an "acute abdomen series." It is three plain x-rays - one of the abdomen with the patient flat (lying down), one of the abdomen with the patient standing upright, and a third x-ray of the chest to include the diaphragms (also with patient upright) so they can see if there is free air under the diaphragm (which can happen with bowel perforation in cases of diverticulitis, Crohn's, or other bowel diseases).

It get's used enough, that I think most of us type it, and it will end up in the dictionaries before long. But it is still slang. Somebody has taken the Latin ending and just slapped it onto an English slang word. Doesn't it sound better than "increased numbers of immature, unsegmented neutrophils"?
