Subject: New standard states:
And I quote: "Numerals, or figures, stand out from the surrounding text and serve a functional purpose in medical reports, where they should be used almost exclusively as opposed to spelled-out numbers.
Exceptions: Judgment and discretion are need when deciding but adjacent numbers require one to be spelled out to avoid confusion.
Use a comma to separate adjacent unrelated numerals if neither can be readily expressed in words and the sentence cannot be readily reworded.
Use numerals for fractions.
Spell out numbers that begin a sentence.
Zero is always spelled out when it stands alone.
Spell out numbers used as pronouns.
That should get you started!

Just throwing this out there, but I was corrected many times that a french is a unit of measure, not French as in from France. Would not be capitalized. 3 french = 1 mm.

I have seen both ways. However, it is french, not French (as in from France). A french is a unit of measure and not capilalized, just as you would not capitalize inch, foot, etc.
