In Reply to: Was - is referring to lidocaine, not the 5 mL. - NM

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.
