Laid takes an object. sm
Subject: Laid takes an object. sm
If she laid down a box or other object, laid would be correct. However, in the sentence quoted, lay is an intransitive verb, meaning it does not take an object. Therefore, lay is correct. Laid is a transitive verb and must have an object.
I am not sure Velcro can be used as a verb, as it is an object--sm
Subject: I am not sure Velcro can be used as a verb, as it is an object--sm
for instance, instead of saying something like *the object was velcroed together*, you would say something like *Velcro was used to secure the object*. Does that make any sense??

curette used to remove foreign object from ear canal
Subject: curette used to remove foreign object from ear canal
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?

I have had doctors, very brilliant ones while practicing their craft, speak horrible grammar, and I have been told by many, many supervisors and HIM personnel, even in college, that if a doctor uses the correct term but just the incorrect grammatical form, as long as you check with your supervisor, it is correct to make that one change, you are not changing the context one bit, nor changing the doctor's medical knowledge, just making it read much better, seem much more intelligent, for the doctor's wellbeing, as other doctors, personnel, lawyers, etc, get to read the report, and every doctor wants to be well-represented. I have a dear, very old Swedish pediatric gastroenterologist/professor who often will say "poops" when fishing for the words stools or defecates....my boss is more than happy to have me replace that appropriately, as is the doctor himself, ESL is tough!

otherwise, how is the MT to know? Better to be corrected here than have a bad QA mark or the dictating physician find the mistake. Many of the horrific errors are things the MT should have learned in 6th grade, for goodness' sake.
