Undergoes

OK, so I'm a stickler about English usage. Yes, I make mistakes - please point them out when you see them.

I heard the following on ESPN a few weeks ago: "Matt Hasselbeck undergoes MRI on right knee."

The subtleties of words should be respected and harnessed appropriately. Had Mr. Hasselbeck undergone surgery on his right knee, "undergoes" would be appropriate. Having an MRI on your knee, however, is not on anyone's list of things to endure, sustain, or suffer.
