What's the verb of dialysis?

Posted By: Stephanie on 2009-05-06
In Reply to:

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!

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?

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??
