Do Roman paramedics refer to IV's as "4's"?

Nope, they write it in Italian.

as Romans used abacus for reckoning, they didn't use a notation including comma to fix the integer position (actually their numeral system was not positional, although the instrument they used was).\nI guess they considered the integer of any quantity referring to the appropriate measure unit: (to give a rough exemple out of this context, you can always say 1453 centimeters instead of 14.53 meters).\nIt is also to be considered that not all things had to be written, or written permanently, at that time, and moreover, not everyone knew everything.\nIt is thus possible that there were techniques or ways of representing numbers which were known only by few.\n\nBut the above are all conjectures of my own, nothing documented (save for the fact that Romans used abacus)

The Romans never used a plural form of the word virus, so both might be suitable, according to one reference. One of the others claims that only viruses is acceptable, since the Romans had another word viri already, and for several other reasons.

yes.  The IV's and V's have the inside "Air Jordan" upside down.  those who think that's fake, you're dumb.  They are REAL.  Back in the 80's people folded their tongues down, and they put it like that so you can see the Air Jordan right side up when flipped.

26, lost count after the 4th threesom.  Do those count as 1 or 2?

My friend works as a pharmacist in New York and I remember her telling me that pharmacists can't make IVs.  So, the answer is "depends".  I think if you are talking about an oral suspension, the tech can reconstitute.  If you are making an intravenous suspension of antibiotic, the tech can't do it.

Good question.   I think 3 or 4.

4-4\nI don't know if - means minus or not.

Latin for the reasons stated by others - medical terminology is steeped in Latin.\n\nAfter that, I guess it really depends on where you plan to work when you get out of medical school.  If you plan to work in South Florida where there is a heavy Latino population, I don't know that fluency in Italian serves you really well.  Of course, if you plan to practice in Paris, I don't know that a heavy Spanish background does you a lot of good.

The acronym "R.I.P." stands for "Resquiescat In Pacem", which in Latin means "Rest in Peace".\nIt is a recurrent gravestone inscription that (re-)gained popularity during the Victorian Era as a way of honoring or giving closure to someone's death.

It's eight. How I figured that out is I did 4x2, which is the same as 4+4 because there are two 4s being added in the equation. But since your mind is obviously far too inferior to even begin to comprehend such a subject, why don't I take your hand and walk you through it (not literally!!!), hm? First, we count to four. 1, 2, 3, 4. Then, we count four numbers starting at 5, because 4+1=5. So, 5, 6, 7, 8. 4x1+4x1 is another way to put it, but like I said, your mind is far too inferior to understand.

I The easiest way to note down a number is to make that many marks - little I's. Thus I means 1, II means 2, III means 3. However, four strokes seemed like too many.... \nV So the Romans moved on to the symbol for 5 - V. Placing I in front of the V — or placing any smaller number in front of any larger number — indicates subtraction. So IV means 4. After V comes a series of additions - VI means 6, VII means 7, VIII means 8.  \nX X means 10. But wait — what about 9? Same deal. IX means to subtract I from X, leaving 9. Numbers in the teens, twenties and thirties follow the same form as the first set, only with X's indicating the number of tens. So XXXI is 31, and XXIV is 24. \nL L means 50. Based on what you've learned, I bet you can figure out what 40 is. If you guessed XL, you're right = 10 subtracted from 50. And thus 60, 70, and 80 are LX, LXX and LXXX. \nC C stands for centum, the Latin word for 100. A centurion led 100 men. We still use this in words like "century" and "cent." The subtraction rule means 90 is written as XC. Like the X's and L's, the C's are tacked on to the beginning of numbers to indicate how many hundreds there are: CCCLXIX is 369. \nD D stands for 500. As you can probably guess by this time, CD means 400. So CDXLVIII is 448. (See why we switched systems?) \nM M is 1,000. You see a lot of Ms because Roman numerals are used a lot to indicate dates. For instance, this page was written in the year of Nova Roma's founding, 1998 CE (Common Era; Christians use AD for Anno Domini, "year of our Lord"). That year is written as MCMXCVIII. But wait! Nova Roma counts years from the founding of Rome, ab urbe condita. By that reckoning Nova Roma was founded in 2751 a.u.c. or MMDCCLI. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n! --!>  \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nV\n \n Larger numbers were indicated by putting a horizontal line over them, which meant to multiply the number by 1,000. Hence the V at left has a line over the top, which means 5,000. This usage is no longer current, because the largest numbers usually expressed in the Roman system are dates, as discussed above.
