HA

Yeah when a doctor writes this:

1T Q4-6H

PRN Pain

 

OR

1T TID Q6H PRN PAIN

One tablet three times a day every 6 hours as needed for pain.

 

BLAH BLAH BLAH                                                HAHAHAHAHAHH!!!!!

 

Means one tablet every 4-6 hours as needed for pain.

 

ROSETTA STONE HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHH OUTSTANDING

left eye

The "oculo sinistro" translates to left eye.  As in the Evil Eye?  That's kinda funny isn't it!
