I would do it like that

This is an undercover (noun)
Same as
I have to follow up (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?
Well-appearing after the verb????

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 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.

follow-up is the noun/adjective. follow up is the verb.
Subject: follow-up is the noun/adjective. follow up is the verb.
I prefer to hyphen follow-up when used as a noun or adjective.
example: She will return in 3 weeks for follow-up (or followup). She will return in 3 weeks for a follow-up visit (used as adjective here).
She will follow up in 3 months (used as verb)
follow up if used as a verb and follow-up as a noun. SM
Subject: follow up if used as a verb and follow-up as a noun. SM
For Example:
The patient will follow up in my office.
The patient will be seen for follow-up in my office.
My understanding has always been that follow-up and followup were the same. It was more of a personal preference whether you used the hyphen or used one word; however follow up is always used when used as a verb.

Hi, I'm a semi-new transcriptionist who has had no formal training, and I'm having some problems figuring out a couple spellings. One is a medication called *Inderon* (not sure how to spell). The other is a phrase that I'm not sure what exactly the doctor is saying. It sounds like *bill-raw-2 anastomoses* Thanks SO much for any help!!!

This doctor is slurring bad so I don't even know if my examples will be accurate!! It sounds like she hasn't gone to med school OR general english and doesn't know how to pronounce words. Ugh.
- Glypenitin? Some kind of medication. Don't know what it is for as this patient has many diseases.
- Sounds like "see-ko" syndrome... I think. I can't understand her!! Fecal syndrome? LOL Maybe it's sickle syndrome.. I don't know.
- Sounds like "smith". As in positive ANA, positive SSA and SSB (I can't tell if it's SSA and SSB or just one or the other GRR!!!!), positive RNP, positive __________, positive rheumatoid factor.
I'm going to try to finish this report. Wish me luck. :/
For the fun of it!! Hydroclomibmwlap... I don't expect anyone to look THAT up. ;) That one deserves a big fat blank. Yes, that is the exact way she pronounced it.
Enavaprovolil was actually Enalapril. How horrible is that? LOL javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');
Also, if anyone has a 2x4 so I can go beat this doctor senseless, I'd appreciate it. ;)
