Medical punctuation help desperately needed!
The doctor is dictating: Three 2-minute preconditioning ischemic stimuli were provided with 2 minutes in between of each of the stimuli.
stimuli is plural. however, in the second part of the sentence where it states, in between each of the stimuli, should I change stimuli to stimulus( singular form).
