Mechanics, machinists etc. and most folks in any sort of engineering, designing or building career flow easily between metric and imperial all day long.

Medical field also, every laceration, tumor, lesion whatever area all measured in metric, as well as fluids.

My experience is that's only on the front end of EMR (electronic medical record) systems. Before the entries are added into the patient's chart, they are converted to metric. If the chart needs to be pulled back up later, the entries are re-converted back to imperial for display, but remain metric in the database.

Yep. That's why I didn't mention them

Psh I've worked on medical documentation for over 20 years, I must have no idea what I'm talking about.

Don't forget that my reply was to Antknot who was talking about weight and height, not of any other measurements. I have yet to come across an EMR that doesn't by default let a provider enter those in imperial units, at least in the US. It's something that can be changed, of course, to allow metric entry. But systems like Epic, eClinicalWorks, or Cerner, if I do an HL7 dump of a patient record from an EMR database, those two values will be metric, not imperial. Yet the front end shows imperial entry. I've been in laboratory IT for 25 years, a big part of my job has been coordinating demographic and report bridging between a provider's EMR and our own to allow one- or two-way data flow. I've seen EMRs come and go. Oh, Medical Manager, where hast thou gone?

The initial measurements were imperial units. Then apparently converted to metric reducing accuracy. But I doubt the scales aren't traceable to a internationally recognized standard anyway.

i had to order some plywood yesterday from Home Depot and it was 18 mm. I think that's 3/4 inch, but it was listed on the home depot website as 18 mm.
