THIS is why they’re supposed to have someone at the pharmacy explain things before they give them to you.
Normally the doc also tells them
Yes, where I used to live the pharmacist always made sure you understood all instructions and even spotted a drug conflict. Now where I go, they hand over the bag and say “bye”.
Pharmacies don’t do that. They ask if you want a consultation and you can decline. Vast majority of people do because they don’t want to stand in line twice.
My pharmacy won't hand over any meds until there's a consultation. Even if its something I constantly get and know how to use.
My pharmacy explains it all whenever it’s a new medication or an antibiotic.
And this is why as a pharmacist I always make sure things like right and left are spelled out!
Exactly!! I always did that, even before it became required policy. Same with 0.1 vs .1, too easy to make mistakes.
Yeah, that was definitely a labeling error.
I don’t think this was the pharmacist. From what I’ve seen as a patient and medical student, the pharmacy just prints what the doctor writes in the rx, so this is in the doctor for abbreviating. To be fair, we learn to abbreviate early because our lectures are too fast. Remembering to not abbreviate in patient instructions, consent to treat is now part of a seperate class 😆
@@somenerdyblonde Any responsible pharmacist would have called the physician to verify directions written that way. It's practically a nationwide policy. Not to mention the fact that, if something bad happened over directions written like that on the label, the pharmacist could be held liable legally if a patient sued. There are plenty of cases as such.
This made me laugh so hard. 😂😂😂
I gotta say, a crying baby will absolutely melt your brain. I could totally see this happening.
Yes. I once was that crying toddler with an ear infection and it drove my mom, who usually is a very grounded person, absolutely mad.
Love your icon! ::grin::
@@beardiemom lol that's so different from my case.
Once I stopped hearing from my left ear and it was actually fun to ignore people talking to me as I could pretend that I can't hear them 😂
@@parkgimmy4225 Well, I still remember having throbbing pain in my ear and I didn't hate people yet, so past me really didn't like having an ear infection 😅
Also "pregnancy brain" and "baby brain" are totally real things your brain undergoes changes during your pregnancy and it makes mistakes like this very common.
Ya know normally I don't side with the patient in these skits but that one did seem like the pharmacy failed her.
As a veterinarian, I relate to this so hard. We have to be VERY specific on our label instructions. "Give one twice a day" is NEVER okay for instructions. More like, "Give one whole tablet BY MOUTH every 12 hours until gone. Give with food." You would be surprised what people can do with a tablet.🙄🤦♀
Oh my….. poor little pets!
As a vet student i can relate
As a vet tech who is usually the one who has to deal with clients first before going to fetch (see what I did there?) The doctor... Yes. I feel this in my soul lol
@@LilBluSky0417 Former vet receptionist. SAME.
Apply to Murican only.
Parenting a crying baby is challenging. No one should be too surprised when things go wrong. It is a fine day if everyone survives.
This!!
Yep...one of my best friends lost his hearing thanks to something similar. He had an ear infection when he was 3 yo. Parents didn't treat it at all (well, homeopathy), aaaaaaand now he's deaf
😂😂😂 That poor mom was probably so tired
True story!🙂👍
@@rociosilverroot2261lol, natural selection is at work here. Don't make excuses for her.
"AND...
please please please clean the tip of that bottle!"
Exactly what I was thinking! I'd probably go so far as to throw that bottle away and ask the Dr for a new script. There's no way that whole bottle isn't contaminated. Ear drops don't have to be sterile, but it should at least be clean!
@@falconerd343 just because the doctor writes a new script doesn't mean your insurance will say yes.
I don’t think I’d want to put any of that liquid in his ear after being down there!
"Why would they do that?"
"Why would you put eardrops in his rear for earache?" 🤣 gold.
If I have foot pain, I'm not gonna put the pill o my foot am I?
@@Zangozz That's fair. 🤣
Babies get a lot of stuff up the ass though
@@Zangozz I mean you could, but is common sense that ear medication goes to the ear. Just like if I give you a bottle of cream, you would 'hopefully' guess that it's supposed to go on the foot and not for you to eat.
To be fair, the rectum is one of the fastest absorbing membranes in the body.
To be fair, I once had a migraine from hell. The doctor prescribed a suppository. Knocked that migraine back to hell. Go figure. 😂
That migraine sounds like it was a pain in the ass! ;)
They… injected something into your backside?
😂🤣🤣
@@NameOfRainInsert (no pun intended) rimshot!
@@darcybrummett7004 🤣🤣🤣
And we will pretend this never happened! I would love a doctor/nurse like that!
You can pretend it never happened until that big ass ER bill arrives in the mail.
It's ok to question when things don't make sense! Maybe don't wait and end up at the ER though!
This is why it is sooo important to not use abbreviations on patient facing communications. Even R and L could get confusing when you’re dealing with someone who doesn’t feel well or is stressed about a family member who is unwell.
all instructions should be given through the filter of exhausted, distracted mother . Hope pharmacy comp'd her a new bottle
Reminds me of an episode of scrubs "This is the reason why your headache didn't go away: That's actually pronounced analgesic, not anal-gesic. Sir, the pills go in your mouth" 😂
EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT OF! Man, I haven't seen that show in years, I can't believe I can still remember these quotes word for word.
I liked that show...to a point. I have met my share of condescending asshats like that curly headed doctor who made life hell for the others. I could only watch maybe two minutes of him being a royal tool before my BP went up and I had to switch the channel. 😅
I buy Oral Analgesic gel for my crappy old dentures @ Dollar+Quarter Tree; wish it came in bigger size;)
Nice n minty, too..
I know this is from a tv show, but I am pretty sure you would still get the analgesic effects rectally.
Pro tip, if the instructions on your meds don't make sense, call the pharmacy Before you use them. If your meds don't look the same as they always have, call the pharmacy Before you use them. It's okay to ask questions. A pharmacist would rather answer your questions than find out you hurt yourself using something improperly.
I remember THAT day I went to the pharma for a new pack of my usual asthma med.
The pharmacist gives me the pack, and I say: "no, that's not the right one. This one is yellow, and mine should be blue".
The pharmacist checks the prescription, and checks the list of the meds she usually gives me. She is technically giving me the right med, but I stay on my ground: the package should be blue.
Maybe we were both tired that day, but we took way to much time to figure out that the brand just changed the packaging for that med. 😂
God, even when you think you're a smart person, think "I would never do something so dumb!" you'd be surprised at how dumb you really are 😆 I've been on meds since I was a kid, and sometimes the pills change how they look ever the years. I get my meds mailed in, on my mom's insurance, and one month I called and requested the pills be sent to a different address because I was on lockdown somewhere else during early covid. _Somehow_ they sent me my _mom's_ medication, and I didn't notice 😶
More specifically, it was supposed to be my Wellbutrin (antidepressant) but instead they sent me her Synthroid (thyroid hormone). I already take Synthriod, at a lesser dose than her (mine's 50 mg, her's is 150mg). So not only was I _not_ taking my antidepressants without knowing it, and going through withdrawals and feeling awful, I was taking FOUR TIMES my normal amount of thyroid hormone. I went from hypothyroidism to HYPERthyroidism in a few days. I couldn't sleep, my heart rate was FAST, and I once started crying and shaking because I couldn't figure out what to eat. It was _bad._
Thankfully after a week my mom figured out the issue and got everything squared away. That fucking sucked XD I was in my 20's too, I can't even blame it on being a kid.
@@GiraffeFlavoredCondomsyou take medications without reading the label? Bupropion and levothyroxine looks completely different.
@@TanishaJeannelle "I've been on meds since I was a kid, and sometimes the pills change how they look ever the years."
I knew they looked different. I just assumed the pills changed how they looked, it's happened before. And HER synthroid looked much different than MY synthroid, so it never even occurred to me that it was synthroid. Mine are white, hers were blue if I recall correctly. All three are small round pills
@@GiraffeFlavoredCondoms "You take medications without reading the label?" I get that medications change (really if it's changed it's more than likely that it's from a different manufacturer and sometimes the formulas are different so really if it works for you let them know you want to stick to the same manufacturer). If there's a slight difference in your medications (a little bigger, numbers don't match, color difference, shape difference etc) by default please read the label and use pill-identifier. Always double check your medications, yes pharmacists have to verify it but even they make mistakes. A simple mistake can cost you your life.
P.S you were not dumb.
Gonna give the kid a worse infection if you put something in their ear that was in their butt before 😅
Right?! Bad Steve!
I don't know how medicine is designed where you live, but at least here in Germany you usually don't insert the dispenser part of ear drops into the (r)ear.
@@obviousbear1289You obviously didn't understand the point of the video. She was putting it into the baby's rear.
Yes, even more instruction was needed😂😂
You never touch the dispenser to any part of your body, it should remain sterile if you do it right, wherever you apply the drops. Wait, how do YOU apply ear drops or eye drops?
I would like suggest she get a new bottle, the potential for her to have contaminated that bottle is far too great.
Yup, there's no way that whole bottle isn't contaminated.
ok so the doctor writes or sends a new script for the bottle you got 3 days ago. You get to the pharmacy and guess what you can't just get a new bottle because you just picked up a 30 day supply and the insurance isn't going to pay for it nor is it over the counter. Now you have to pay and if the medication costs $900 what are you going to do?
Don't try switching pharmacies either we can see that too.
If it doesn't make sense or you are unsure call your pharmacy or your doctor don't just follow what you think it means. It is very important that you understand your medications and route of transfer it can cost you your life. Any pharmacy that doesn't formulate instructions properly needs to lose their business. There's literal codes that write out the directions in clear details, they're doing more work writing out "R ear" instead of "AD" which translates to "right ear" in clear details.
At least they read the instructions
Steve crying like a baby made my day for some reason 😅
Steve always gets the character across, even with the little costume effects he relies on.
Yup. Sad but true. We aren't explicitly clear with instructions, stuff like this happens
It’s not sad. It’s abilist. The period after the R is so hard to see or forgotten entirely, and left and right are not abbreviated anywhere else, why start with medicine and not tell people. People who have had a baby crying nonstop for 5 days already and can’t think straight
All she had to do was ask the pharmacist to clarify the instructions 😂😂😂
yeah except now the tip of that dropper has "rear" germs on it... 😂
Poor kid 😂
And this is why after we type up the prescription, the pharmacist double checks everything.
A little boy had a bad tummy ache and was prescribed promethazine. The dad immediately got online and filled his head with so much random promethazine information it was madness 😂 he then asks me if there’s an applicator to help with the medication administration and I say a glass of water should be enough. He asked how a glass of water can help push a promethazine up his kids tush. Huh? I asked to see a photo of the container the meds came in… for some reason this guy thought he was going to have to give his kid a suppository. Turns out that he didn’t thanks to me. Dad was relieved.
There are a few medicines that use the rear end. I have epilepsy and one of my older emergency medication had to be inserted in my butt (because the mucosa there absorbs the stuff really quick). But of course in this case it would have been more logical to put the drops in the infected ear.
It’s also incredibly vascular back there. That’s why frozen vodka tampons up the poop chute was a trend about a decade ago. You could get, quite literally, drunk off your ass 😂
It's also really useful for anti-nausea medications, since oral medications aren't so useful when you puke them back up before they can be absorbed. ;-)
Medicine for very young children also often comes in suppository form, probably because it's hard for them to take oral medications as instructed.
Rectal diazepam ftw! Speaking of, can I have some?
@@calliarcaleI was given ondansetron (Zofran) for nausea but the kind they gave me you put under your tongue and it dissolves and aborbs there so you dont have to swallow anything :)
I remember an episode of ER where a bottle said once a day but in Spanish 'once' means eleven so the patient overdosed 😳🥺
When you're tired all verbal instructions can go straight out of your mind, so you rely on what's written. At least if you're gonna abbreviate right and left, you'd shorten to Rt and Lt 🤣
Another rocket scientist. It's amazing how so many come to the ER.
I'd probably make sure they get a fresh bottle of drops 🤣
She traumatized the hell out of that kid!
I always chuckled at "take 1 pill 3 times daily" 😂 so I tied some dental floss around the pill....🤣🤣🤣
Why? This is the first time I think he made a HORRIBLE decision.
If that dropper has been in a REAR orifice, it should not be put in his EAR now. Oh my word. All the new infection possibilities.
The pharmacy should NEVER have used an abbreviation on the bottle, especially one like this. It's far too confusing. Someone should also have told the patient's mother how to use the product, but if anyone forgot the instructions that were told to them, the label should have had the instructions in a clear, easy to understand manner. I used to work in pharmacy and that type of instruction would have not been allowed.
Oh good Lord...you crack me up Steve! 😂
Sleep deprivation from a sick kid, you can't figure out how to dress much less right ear!😆
İ laugh so hard as soon as I saw the WahHhhhHh!!!!
Please give them a new bottle!!
Omg! Poor kid! 😂😂
Ok but this is actually a reasonable misunderstanding. Also in high school I had meds prescribed where the pharmacy had a clerical error and I ended up only taking half of my mood stabilizer. I was a teen with undiagnosed borderline personality disorder. The results of that mistake were unpleasant for everyone.
If it’s an error the days supply won’t match and the insurance may flag it whether it’s as you’ve typed the script or in an audit later on. If the script calls for 1 tablet daily for 30 days and they put 1/2 tab daily for 30 days it makes no sense you’d have 15 tablets after the 30 days. You may not see the day supply on your medication but on the pharmacy’s end it has to match what the doctor wants you to take. A tech can make that mistake but if the pharmacist checks it and lets it pass that’s a big problem.
The nurse explains carefully how to put
the pain control ointment on, with appropriate gestures. The pharmacist also explains about how to apply the ointment and use gestures as well. They come back three days later complaining about the taste of the ointment and that it’s not working. Yes, they are eating it, not rubbing it on the skin. Do not eat it, rub it on. Monday they come back STILL complaining about the taste.
I absolutely thought this was going to end a la Turk from Scrubs "It's pronounced analgesic, not ANAL-gesic. Sir, the pills go in your mouth."
That poor baby is about to get something in his ear that was in his rear... ew.
😂😂😂😂 this one has me laughing so hard!!! Oh my gosh!!! We do this in vet med too!!! You won't believe the stories we get from clients; confused as to why their pet isn't doing better when infact the meds weren't given correctly! Thanks so much for making my day!
Well, sometimes it is hard to give meds to a pet correctly due to how the meds were packaged at the vet's.
I have a bearded dragon that needed antibiotics, and I was supposed to give him .03ml every day. The entire course of antibiotics was in a 1ml syringe and we are talking about a reptile that was quite resistant when it came to getting a syringe stuck in his mouth to gently squeeze 3% of the syringe content into his mouth.
After I accidentally overdosed him, which I still feel bad about, I called my vet and they told me only then (No instructions either in person or on the slip of paper I was given, other than how much and how often) was I told that I could smear the antibiotic on a piece of fruit or salad and then put that in his mouth. And unless I am *specifically* told a medication can be given with food, I assume that it shouldn't be.
Omg that is the stupidest way they could package a medicine! I currently have 5 prescriptions for my dog, 4 are liquids and each have their own bottle with their own syringe. One of which I give her .03ml of twice a day, and that's its *own* syringe that has measurements for *partial* ml... I can't imagine trying to force a struggling dog to take a medicine and having to keep pulling the syringe from her mouth yo make sure I'm giving the right amount, because you can't tell how much got pushed from the syringe in that situation! The liquids are super easy compaired to the pills, but she still doesnt wanna take her medicine and resists pretty hard. I can't say how bearded dragons are, but it's probably not easy with them either. That's freakin *ridiculous* to package it that way!
@@stephanievanosten3496 he was squirming in my hand a lot, especially since he was still a juvie and not used to handling.
And obviously, him being a 200 gram reptile, I was worried about holding him too tightly and hurting him.
If she's been using that bottle on his butt, she needs a new bottle or he's gonna have a very different infection in that ear.😂
🤣😂🤣😂 I used to work in a pharmacy & although we didn't have this come up, we certainly had our share of oddball responses but i can def see this, especially on an actual script versus a filled med label! 😂🤣😂🤣
“These are eardrops. Why would you put them in his bottom?”
“WAHHHHHHH” 😂
I’ve actually had instructions on my meds that I already knew how to take, but the instructions themselves were written so stupidly that anyone who has no clue would have had some serious issues 😂 I often read the directions to see how it’s worded so I can laugh when they mess up!
So this is why pharmacists explain the instructions on things like that when you pick up the medicine!
I love my pharmacy. Have been going to them for years and we are on a first name basis. I actually first go to them before the GP. They always explain in detail the what, why and when of the medications. Love them!
I invited my family’s pharmacist to my wedding.
You were the best, Gus!!
I miss pharmacies like that. They don’t exist anymore around here. Just the chains which I hate you have to deal with stoned teenagers all the time or mothers with Pms! I have worse Pms sometimes! Lol
@@salmontanio212 that doesn't even make sense.
Being on first name basis doesn't mean shit we have name tags and we have access to yours or we just see you often. They explain to you what your doctor wants and general knowledge of the med. Stop bothering pharmacists unless it's an actual need. Your doctor knows you on a more personal level and you should also be doing your research because it affects YOUR body. If your medications are not working for you the pharmacy cannot change the dose or give you something else (unless it's something over the counter that will help). They can advise you on something else to take but they will tell you.....GO TO YOUR DOCTOR, if it's an emergency GO TO THE ER.
I wonder if the mom still get the ER bill?
Okay,
and when the bill comes in, since it never happened, I don’t have to pay.
This is why we type things out fully. There is a slim chance this scenario could happen but it still could happen
More like: You’re going to pretend it never happened, I’m going to tell all my coworkers during lunch!
And these are the same people who will decline the pharmacist explaining the medication to them because "I'm not an idiot, I know how medication works"
Now THAT was worth the price of admission! LOL
Ah that explains whenever I get medications they explain it to me like I’m a toddler 😂
That's got to be frustrating because some of these things that are in Stevioe's vids are like wow, people are just going to the ER for absurd reasons, I'm sure every ER nurse can tell you some real dumb stuff & that adds extra time with someone occupying a bed that doesn't belong there!!! Thanks to Stevioe's hilarious vids, we're better educated, Lol, I'm always laughing at him!!! 😂😂😂😂
My guess is user error. Pharmacies typically use software that auto translate sig code abbreviations to make it easier and faster to type out prescription labels. The pharm tech flubbed their sig codes when transcribing the prescription and thought r would automatically translate into right in the system. It doesn't, they'd want something like au for that. So the tech screwed up the transcribing and then the pharmacist flubbed the verification part (who should've caught it tbh but when they already know what the directions mean, have a dozen extra responsibilities thanks to corporate metrics and understaffing and are dealing with hundreds of prescriptions every shift, not that surprised a few errors will slip through the cracks).
AS or AD should have been typed into the computer. Yours, as ours also does, translates that Latin abbreviation into the English.
Actually when typing you see the sig codes being translated as you type. if you don't make sure the sig code translate properly you shouldn't work in pharmacy.
For ex; if you are typing for Fluticasone(Flonase) and you put "1S EN BID" that would translate to "1 suppository in each nostril twice a day" You need to see the error to change "1S" to "1SP" which translate to "spray".
The correct code for the video would've been "2GTT AD Q4H" which translate to Instill 2 drops in right ear every 4 hours. The codes also translate to a different language if needed.
Ah, so this is why the pharmacists ask if I know how to take my meds whenever I refill them
Yeah -- it's SOP (standard operating procedure), even if a patient has taken a particular medication since they were very young -- as in my case. I was born hypothyroid so have taken Synthroid/levothyroxine since I was 12 weeks old. But the pharmacy still asks me if I have any questions. I'm like, "Nope, I am a walking Lady Gaga song: I was born this way." 😅
We have annual training modules that remind us to explain directions to our patients and their family members that an 8th grader can understand.
This is why.
That “waaaah!” was so accurate 😂
Ya know mom's got a point, like she could a googled it or asked but she did exactly what it said
As a pharmacy tech myself.. we always spell right/left out. Drug labels need to be labelled as though the dumbest person in the world will read them, we have to assume complete bafoonery, because it is often the case :/
You can never out dumb the dedicated idiot. In Engineering, it is called failure of imagination.
Well and even if the person is normally pretty bright no one thinks clearly when they feel terrible or when they’re stressed about their loved one feeling terrible.
PLEASE DON’T reuse those ear drops in another orifice (opening, body cavity) EVER! Once a liquid or spray medication has been used by ONE person in ONE place it is contaminated and CANNOT be used by another person or place! Just felt the need to clarify for others. Patients aren’t dumb, they just need clear instructions. ❤️🩹
How did she get those drops in his bottom?! Okay, maybe I don't wanna know.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Pharmacist here, this is epic!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Never use abbreviations with the patients, lol.
For God's sake, wash the bottle tip before before putting it in his ear lol 😂
Oh I remember my pharmacy days and trying to idiot proof the instructions 😂
And the pharmacy makes you sign if you want receive/denied consultation for this reason.
Oof. That poor mom and that poor kid
Parent: Why would they do that?
Rich: I don't know, but why don't you go back home, try again, and we will pretend this never happened.
His response has got to be one of his funniest lines ever.
I can definitely see how someone could fuck this up 😂😂😂😂😂
I get my medicines mailed, as I'm home bound... I had to look up what QID meant LOL
When in doubt with the directions, always ask the pharmacist. This is why they have their # on the label!
Are these actually real stories?
Unfortunately yes. Have heard similar stories in hospital.
and that’ll be $4,000 😂
Please always check your pharmacist if you are uncertain about instructions on any kind of medication. You're not disturbing us with stupid questions. You're making sure you can give the right care to yourself or the person you are caring for.
Reminds me of that scene in "House" where a lady was in for her third inhaler refill and mad that it wasn't doing anything for her... she'd been spraying the inhaler on her neck like PERFUME.
This is why I'm ok with medication having a lot of writing on it. Everything needs to be carefully and clearly spelled out so situations like that don't happen. Never underestimate a new mom's exhausted brain that's half mush from caring for a sick infant
I teach technical writing, and I always impress clear labeling and spelling for this very reason.
As someone who works in a pharmacy they should have just typed out ad which translates to “into the right ear” or just “right ear”. They definitely played a role in this mistake. So now they have to throw away the drops since the bottle is contaminated and either the parents or the pharmacy has to call insurance to get an override so it can be covered so soon after the first fill.
You have to avoid using abbreviations, shortcuts, and ambiguous words. I once had Latino friends that called me about some medicine they got at the pharmacy and they thought they were supposed to take 11 tablets a day. The instruction said take once a day and 0NCE (pronounced on-say) in Spanish is the number 11. I live in Texas, so it is very likely that the prescription recipients speak Spanish and either don’t speak English. or don’t think about the difference between once and ONCE.
Okay, why would you assume that a pharmacy would write Spanish-English gibberish on your meds?
Bet the hospital will remember it happened when they send the $900 invoice for "Misc Emer Svc".
"Why don't you go home and pretend this never happened".
*$3000 ER bill already being sent out in the mail.*
This is why we label the hell out of every dispensed item from a hospital pharmacy in the UK (And why we also counsel the patient just to make sure!). It still doesn’t guarantee them taking their meds properly. An inpatient insisted on using their Salbutamol inhaler as ‘room freshener’ and ordered a new inhaler daily!
People don't understand that you can almost always send a short message to your prescribing doctor through an online portal for free rather than going to the ER and incur an expensive bill. There's also a 24 hour nurse hotline that virtually every health provider has.
Never heard of this. Do you send the short message via the pharmacy?
My mom gave me cough syrup. She looked at the lable and saw a T. Ok she says 2 tablespoons. I was a sleep in no time.
The lable was t. teaspoons. Only 2 teaspoons.
My pharmacist always reads instructions on a single item pick up, and asks if we've had the medications otherwise
On the darker side of this, I remember an ER episode where a lady ended up dying, because she took some medication 11 times in one day instead of 1. Because the instructions said "once" they were Hispanic and read it as 11 (once (one time) and once (the Spanish for 11))
The 'Whaah' though 🤣
I understand this so much as when I was young about 8 years old I read the back of the vitamin C bottle and it read "tableting aids" I went into my mom's room and accused her of trying to give me AIDS, yes I was a little bit of a hypochondriac
In the "mother's" defense, the orders should not have been abbreviated like that on the bottle.
"Ugh" 🤣
Dude this sounds like an episode of House.
ME: Counseling a patient who didn’t speak English. Fully bi-lingual in Spanish. I typed up the label for Augmentin oral suspension Sig: take 1 teaspoonful by mouth three times a day. Shake well. Refrigerate. Any questions?
Dad: How do I get the teaspoon in the baby’s ear? 🤦♀️
Me: Let’s start from the beginning. The medication works inside the body to treat the ear infection.
Dad: So I don’t put a teaspoon in his ear?
Me: No Sir. Please repeat the directions back to me. If you have ANY questions I am always here. I prayed for that baby!
I had to double check that "by mouth" was in the directions to translate it in my head. Yup, it's there. Dad glossed over it.
@@SarafinaSummers Dad had no clue. Lol
(sees the bill) I thought we were pretending this never happened
Does ring the bell, because some med have to be on your rear 😂
