pseudodisc bulge?
Subject: pseudodisc bulge?

I transcribe for radiologists in two states, and lately some of them are dictating  "pseudodisc bulge."   I wouldn't think it would be a pseudodisc, but rather, a pseudobulge of disc.  I've googled both terms, and don't get many hits for either.  What should they be saying?  Is this one of those doctor coined phrases?

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?
