Subject: one-quarter percent lidocaine? sm
Doctor dictated the local consisted of "one-quarter percent lidocaine with epinephrine". Should I spell it out like that or use 25%? Thanks for any help!

This is how I do it. Don't you love when they dictate things like that? What is wrong with "better than 70% improvement" or improvement greater than 70%, or whatever. Sometimes I change things like that to make it clear and so they look like they have a grip on the English language.

I KNOW I'm not a doc, but this just isn't making sense to me. Is the doc REALLY saying "Chest pain, ruled out, negative percent in my view"? I'm thinking the 'percent in my view' is really some kind of procedure?

Was - is referring to lidocaine, not the 5 mL.

Of course, it was referring to the lidocaine,
Subject: Of course, it was referring to the lidocaine,
but it still sounds better if you use "was" instead of "were." Just as you wouldn't say, "2 cups of water was spilled" but instead, "2 cups of water were spilled." It's a matter of what sounds better, in some cases. :-)
5 mL of 1% lidocaine WERE injected...
Subject: 5 mL of 1% lidocaine WERE injected...
In response to Mark's question, "5 cc of 1% lidocaine was or were injected", the text from the grammar website below, from the topic, "Subject-Verb Agreement", explains why "WERE" was the right word there. Per that text, the "5 mL" (but not the "lidocaine") becomes the Subject, and the Verb should be in plural.
