    When I was in college, I did some TA work helping to run labs. This particular lab was a general chemistry lab for the health care track, nurses, doctors, etc. This girl walks up to me, deadpan, and asks “What does ‘M-L’ mean?” She was asking what milliliter meant. I shit you not, that has scared me about ever going to a hospital for anything more serious than a cold.

      Lol yes that is worrying. She could have just been having a brainfart though… Everyone has those sometimes.

      I’ve been to hospital quite a bit (visiting and assisting people mostly) and the standards have been very high for nurses, doctors, technicians etc. I hope that can comfort you somewhat.
