Just an introductory admission. I now realize why some people miss the 'humorous' aspect of some things I state (with my personal thought that they -- the statements -- are 'inane').

Take 1:
During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with his cardiologist, he informed me, his doctor, that he was having trouble with one of his medications.
Which one?" I asked.
"The patch. The nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put it!"
I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see: yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body!  
Now the instructions include 'remove old patch before applying a new one'.

It sounds funny...but I get the feeling that I don't get it...

LOL

LOL, it's like the directions on the shampoo bottle: "Lather, Rinse, Repeat." You know theres some idiot who's still in the shower, because it doesn't say "get out, dry off, and get on with your life"

I get that all the time at the pharmacy.

One patient asked over the phone that she can't find the instructions on how to take contraceptive but was taking the med one tablet a day. I told her to open her birth-control case and viola, the intructions were there in a sticker. Figures.

Actually, you wouldn't want to get 52 patches on you all at the same time like he did. Take the old one off first and replace it with the next; only one patch at a time.

I thought you'd find some relevance on the subject. Now, if you can please find the answer to the PM I sent you? I'd also like to know what the objects of the subject are.  ;)
