Subject: subject/verb agreement
DIAGNOSTIC STUDIES: AP, lateral and oblique of the left ankle was/were obtained in our office.
I know this is very basic but I also type it as "were" and the spell check always wants me to change it to "was" and now on my last report my manager changed it to "was".
Anybody??

When the following phrase is dictated:
"He is a well nourished appearing patient,"
What is the most appropriate transcript format? With, or without hyphens? One of our staff Doc.s keeps dictating this phrase and we are stumped. Of course, this one phrase does not appear to be in BOS!
Thanks for your help!

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?

I always put the dash there as in well-appearing patient.

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.

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.
