Don't mix and don't use slashes between kg and minute.

 Here is the question - how do you type the word "stat" meaning immediately? Its a latin derivitive like n.p.o. , p.r.n. etc, and those are typed in lower case with periods. So would it be "stat." I have also seen it typed STAT with no period. I can't find it anywhere to back up my choice. Any ideas??? Or where to look?? Sue

I think it's just an English word or words.
"The patient was admitted for the s/l 'in-portient' phase of the Ovation '10-15' intravenous carbamazepine study."
He's trying to say this so carefully it's unbelievable, but I don't know this in-portient drug study phase terminology, and so I can't even find a reference to 10-15 or 10:15, even though I can find articles about an IV carbamazepine drug study.
Hepp I'm tupid.
