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?

What's the verb of dialysis?
What is the correct way to type the verb of dialysis? I have a Dr saying "she __ on Monday, Wednesday and Friday." He is talking about dialysis, so would it be "She dialysis on Monday, Wednesday and Friday"? That doesn't make sense to me, but that is what he's saying!

The patient has a well-healed hematoma.
The patient's hematoma is well healed.
The patient is a well-developed, well-nourished, well-appearing female in no acute distress.
The patient is female, well developed, well nourished, and well appearing, in no acute distress.
This is just my way, but I have seen MT work where they hyphenate no matter where it fits in the sentence, and I think that is wrong.

for instance, instead of saying something like *the object was velcroed together*, you would say something like *Velcro was used to secure the object*. Does that make any sense??

Yes, there is a difference. If QA is so-called nagging about it, it's probably important.

looks right and then they will let you know if it is right or wrong.
I would probably separate each by stating the problem is blah, blah, blah then paragraph the examination is blah, blah, etc.
I would not capitalize headings since they are office notes.
Make each problem standout somehow.
If they have no samples for you, then do it and let them get back to you.
Good Luck

No one from QA has EVER treated me that way. I have had a few less than desirables, but this one is shocking.
I can stand for the fact that people who have diabetes do not necessarily have hypertension. My father has diabetes and has had two MIs and does not have nor has he been treated for hypertension ever.
Plus, I have done QA and yeah, once in awhile a sound alike may seem way off to you because you may know the dictator so well, BUT I have never had anything come across that was "way off". I have always listened a couple of times to try to figure the word out before flagging it as I am sure 99% of us MTs do. Frankly, I would try to speak to her supervisor in the company if you have that option because if she is treating people that way, the company will lose their good MTs. I left a company of a nasty QA manager (apparently not this bad). I would NOT put up with that. It is abusive pure and simple

This is an ESL. I think she has said this before, but I cannot get a grip on it this time.
She was bleeding so much that she called 911 and the patient was taken to the ER. The ER controlled the bleeding and put a plastic **salizine** tape and sent her to see PCP today. According to her, she is not in pain at all but she was afraid when she took off the dressing it would bleed. Thanks!
