Subject: curette size.

I used to put #0 curette, but then I never did BOS. I think it makes it read better than saying 0-curette etc.

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.

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?
