Subject: Isn't g an acceptable abbreviation for gram?
I had QA correct this:
MiraLax 7.5 g to be taken to MiraLax 7.5 grams to be taken .
If 7.5 g is wrong I've been doing it wrong for a long time. It's not on the forbidden abbreviation list in the BOS, so now I'm stumped.
Anyone have an opinion on this? Thanks!

Also, I worked in a lab for many years, and gram-negative and gram-positive are not capitalized. Gram is the name of the doctor or scientist who came up with the staining test, Gram stain, so that is capped.

Caesarean section
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Caesarian section)
Jump to: navigation, search
A caesarean section (AE cesarean section), or c-section, is a form of childbirth in which a surgical incision is made through a mother's abdomen (laparotomy) and uterus (hysterotomy) to deliver one or more babies. It is usually performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby's or mother's life at risk, although in the last decade it has been performed upon request.
