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-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?

it's an adjective. So it doesn't have a plural form.
In terms of pleural vs plural, it's easy for an MT to make this mistake. Like, the abdominal snowman...It's an occupational hazard.

More info for you in addition to what I posted below--for this type of situation, units of measure are considered collective nouns.
I have to run but if you look that up under a grammar site, it will show you why the correct answer is WAS. You did not post the entire sentence, but I am assuming it was just that 1 med.
