Couldn't resist posting the following found on a grammar Q&A site. (If I read below correctly -- after I quit laughing!!! -- then in your example the patient is the direct object.)

I am always wondering about the past participle tense of the vulgar form, have I been lain?

I'm pretty sure that you would have been laid. You would have been the direct object. That is, someone did it to you (i.e., laid you). Going back to the example given in the podcast: "It's pretty easy, you lay something down, people lie down by themselves..." So, someone laid you, you didn't lay yourself (I think).

all amounts are to be transcribed as singular when abbreviated, so it does not matter if "approximately" is used it is always 10 cc of fluid was aspirated (and/or injected).
Obviously if it is dictated "a total of 10 cc..." it is WAS because "total" is the subject. Also, even if the dictation was "10 cc of fluidS..." it would still be was because the unit of measurement is the subject of the sentence and is abbreviated.

in this text, "We laid/lay the patient down." Would it be laid or lay? I understood the rule to be if it is an object then it is "laid" if a person, then "lay" which is the past tense of lie. Help! This is one that will forever confuse me

With words that indicate portions—percent, fraction, part, majority, some, all, none, remainder, and so forth —look at the noun in your of phrase (object of the preposition) to determine whether to use a singular or plural verb. If the object of the preposition is singular, use a singular verb. If the object of the preposition is plural, use a plural verb.
Examples: Fifty percent of the pie has disappeared.
Pie is the object of the preposition of.
Fifty percent of the pies have disappeared.
Pies is the object of the preposition.
One-third of the city is unemployed.

NOTE: Hyphenate all spelled-out fractions.
