The meaning of "Not on Label"
Subject: The meaning of "Not on Label"
Not on label usually means using a drug for a purpose other than what it was originally intended for.
Example: Paxil is often used for premature ejaculation as it has a side effect of allowing a man to last longer but of course was put on the market for anxiety/depression. Hope this helps clear things up

Well-appearing.
Subject: Well-appearing.
Here is what I was taught. Well-appearing young man. Hyphen. The patient is well appearing. However, I have had some QA say the latter should also be well-appearing. I guess go with company rules. I personally do not use the hyphen after a verb.

Well-developed, well-nourished appearing male or female has nothing to do with the verb in the sentence.

Well-appearing after the verb????
Subject: Well-appearing after the verb????
I'm so confused about this. The patient is well-appearing. Should there be a dash there even though it's after the verb? I think there should be because you can't be appearing so it seems like you'd have to make a compound word there. I think the BOS backs me up on this but that's a little confusing too. I know it shouldn't be there if the patient is well known, well hydrated, etc...Anybody know for sure?

take out the comma between nucleations and right; I would also take out the comma between right and x 3, I would place a comma between fifth and "and". This is really a confusing sentence, as I am not sure if it means "right times 3" or right third, second, and fifth DIP joints. that would make a difference in the punctuation.

But you're right...I have a lot of CNPs and PA-Cs who are constantly saying the wrong things. For example, the CNP who keeps saying dilution instead of deciliter for the UA, when she does an eye exam she always says the lids were averted instead of everted. She SPELLS it for me and always sounds like she's disgusted because she keeps spelling it with an A and I keep typing it with an E. It has always been Everted. Averted means to look away. I type these things up for years and years and then someone comes along like her and I start questioning myself, and maybe I'm typing it wrong...it just drives me crazy.
