Doc is an ESL (and a pretty good speaker but the sound quality isn't the best), and he sounds like he says he's using a seeramick (spelled phonetically) to remove a BB from this child's ear. I've searched my ENT and equipment books as well as googled and am having no luck finding this. I thought maybe it was his way of pronouncing ceramic, but I don't even know if there is such a thing as a ceramic curette. He's definitely not saying serrated. Any ideas?

The way I was taught is that if each part of the sentence can stand alone as a separate sentence, then use a comma. In your case, the second half after the comma would not make sense as a single sentence.

I have done a lot of QA over the years, and lately MTs are using a comma before the word "with" throughout the entire report as if with was equal to "which." I have looked through and BOS, but I cannot find a general rule on this. Does anyone have any solid information on this? It would be very much appreciated.

Subject: comma
At first I thought, comma after elbow and then after epicondyle. but the rest of the sentence doesnt make sense. But a hint of where to put a comma is, if the sentence can still make sense from before the first comma continuing after the second comma. as in: joint effusion of the elbow noted anterior..... BUT the rest of the sentence does not make sense.

There were also two red rubber Robinsons left stapled over the interface, under the burrito, for postoperative irrigation. Would commas be placed before under and after burrito? Also, do I have the word Robinsons right? Thanks.
