Her only complaints are those related to her gynecologic operation but she thinks these are better. Her abdomen is nice and flat and smooth. She has nice midline s/l raw-fay. There was some ends of sutures snipped off but otherwise she is doing very well.
Besides the identifying info, this is all that is in the report so it does not give much to go on.

If you look up both curet and curette in medical dictionary, curette has a definition of a spoon shaped surgical instrument, etc., but curet is only listed as a variant of curette. I use curette as a noun or verb and stay away from the variant curet, especially on picky accounts. FYI.

It's also about the angle, and I've had 'no doubt' kind of dictators that use them...My presumption was that it was a short-hand way of saying up-biting (or down-biting, as I've used down curette, too).

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?

Just throwing this out there, but I was corrected many times that a french is a unit of measure, not French as in from France. Would not be capitalized. 3 french = 1 mm.

Subject: french
I have seen both ways. However, it is french, not French (as in from France). A french is a unit of measure and not capilalized, just as you would not capitalize inch, foot, etc.
