A hospital room. A nurse at a bedside computer, hand frozen over the keyboard. On screen: a dosing field showing '500mg' highlighted in red. The intended dose '50mg' is scrawled on a paper chart nearby. Tense, clinical lighting.

A nurse typed '50mg' into a dosing system. The system read it as '500mg.'

The decimal point didn't register. The input field expected a plain number, no units, no decimals. It parsed '50mg' as best it could and got 500. Same nurse, same keyboard, same intention. Different data format, different outcome.
