Facet Block/Injection Patient Information. Your doctor has recommended you for either a selective nerve root or a facet block. A facet is a joint, or connection between two of the bones in your back. The block works by injecting a pain-relieving medication at the source of the pain, a facet or a nerve. Franklin Moser, MD, Director of Neuroradiology, heads our team of imaging physicians, nurses and technologists who specialize in these procedures.
Recognize a clause when you see one. Clauses come in four types: main [or independent ], subordinate [or dependent ], adjective [or relative ], and noun. Every clause has at least a subject and a verb. Other characteristics will help you distinguish one type of clause from another. Main Clauses Every main clause will follow this pattern: Subject + Verb = Complete Thought. Here are some examples: Lazy students whine.
Structurally, English sentences can be classified four different ways, though there are endless constructions of each. The classifications are based on the number of independent and dependent clauses a sentence contains. An independent clause forms a complete sentence on its own, while a dependent clause needs another clause to make a complete sentence.
