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.

Isn't g an acceptable abbreviation for gram?
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!
