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.
A. A clause is defined as any group of words that contains a subject and a predicate (verb). Example: If the sky is cloudy tomorrow, we wonât have a picnic. Example: He said that the fundamentals were solid, so I decided to invest in the Internet startup. B. Clauses can be further divided into two categories: dependent clauses and independent clauses. C. A dependent clause cannot stand on its own as a complete sentence. The presence of a dependent clause will almost always be indicated by a single word at the beginning of the clause: a subordinating conjunction, interrogative, or relative pronoun.
