Yes, for the love of God, yes.
Our system is fricking retarded and overly complicated.
In the medical field, if my understanding is correct, they already use the metric system predominantly.

In science metric is used exclusively. (most use "mks" - meters, kilograms, seconds - astronomers use "cgs" - centimeters, grams seconds - which makes no fricking sense because everything is bigger in astronomy - but there it is. (E&M sometimes uses cgs, too)
In U.S. engineering - they use English.
This caused a space probe to crash once.
