Hi,
Please can someone tell me whether the following sentence is correct, or whether it should be "whose", and not "who's".
Thank you!
Mary

the 5/8th grey may also be suitable for use by people who are thin and who's femoral vein hasn't been pushed back by long term injecting.

Whose is the possessive form of who. Who's is the shortened form of who is.

Given the context, I hope that's not 5 eighths of an inch!
