I think there are many docs who actually think there is a drug called methlyprednisone, and the rest just mispronounce it. I'd say 99.9% chance you want methylprednisolone.

Subject: Hard 25 of Solu-Medrol
Hi, everyone.
I'm transcribing a report in which the doc says "Patient had a hard 25 of Solu-Medrol." At least I think that's what she said. Has anyone heard of this construction used before? I have no background info on this since it's an addendum to a report dictated earlier.
Sorry I don't have more info.
Thanks.

Was - is referring to lidocaine, not the 5 mL.

Of course, it was referring to the lidocaine,
Subject: Of course, it was referring to the lidocaine,
but it still sounds better if you use "was" instead of "were." Just as you wouldn't say, "2 cups of water was spilled" but instead, "2 cups of water were spilled." It's a matter of what sounds better, in some cases. :-)
5 mL of 1% lidocaine WERE injected...
Subject: 5 mL of 1% lidocaine WERE injected...
In response to Mark's question, "5 cc of 1% lidocaine was or were injected", the text from the grammar website below, from the topic, "Subject-Verb Agreement", explains why "WERE" was the right word there. Per that text, the "5 mL" (but not the "lidocaine") becomes the Subject, and the Verb should be in plural.

"Each of the students is responsible for doing his or her work in the library.
Don't let the word "students" confuse you; the subject is each and each is always singular — Each is responsible."
Hope that helps!
