With nystagmus, the eyeball might "jump." It beats from side to side, or middle to side, etc.
Subject: With nystagmus, the eyeball might "jump." It beats from side to side, or middle to side, etc. sm

Doubt antistigmatic--not a word. Astigmatism is something entirely different. There is no reference in Stedman's ophth for antistigmatic, but do believe they mean nystagmus for "eyes jump." Can you leave a blank? The author apparently doesn't know the correct word to use. Maybe the context of the sentence will help you.

all amounts are to be transcribed as singular when abbreviated, so it does not matter if "approximately" is used it is always 10 cc of fluid was aspirated (and/or injected).

Obviously if it is dictated "a total of 10 cc..." it is WAS because "total" is the subject. Also, even if the dictation was "10 cc of fluidS..." it would still be was because the unit of measurement is the subject of the sentence and is abbreviated.

Couldn't resist posting the following found on a grammar Q&A site. (If I read below correctly -- after I quit laughing!!! -- then in your example the patient is the direct object.)

I am always wondering about the past participle tense of the vulgar form, have I been lain?

by Larabees on 1/20/07
I'm pretty sure that you would have been laid. You would have been the direct object. That is, someone did it to you (i.e., laid you). Going back to the example given in the podcast: "It's pretty easy, you lay something down, people lie down by themselves..." So, someone laid you, you didn't lay yourself (I think).

With words that indicate portions—percent, fraction, part, majority, some, all, none, remainder, and so forth —look at the noun in your of phrase (object of the preposition) to determine whether to use a singular or plural verb. If the object of the preposition is singular, use a singular verb. If the object of the preposition is plural, use a plural verb.

Examples: Fifty percent of the pie has disappeared.
Pie is the object of the preposition of.
Fifty percent of the pies have disappeared.
Pies is the object of the preposition.

One-third of the people are unemployed.

NOTE: Hyphenate all spelled-out fractions.
