Story 4
During a patient's two week follow-up appointment, he told me 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 includes removal of the old patch before applying a new one.
