>>If only there were some standardized system of measurement that could be used worldwide so everyone would use the same units and values. ;)
LOL. Actually in healthcare there is: metric units are used by laboratories and physicians in the US and UK as well as on planet earth. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
