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 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.

Subject: I am not sure Velcro can be used as a verb, as it is an object--sm
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??

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.

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.

I don't think I would want to type that in my report like that. I will have to have to see what the Vac part stands for and find out if I can substitute the real words for that abbreviated slang. But yup, that's what the ESL must have meant, though I think he said it with the word air in there.
