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?
