Random stories - counselling 2

Continued from random stories- counselling 1


1. Suppositories
    Someone has used it without unwrapping the foil.

2. Spiriva
    The common story : People swallow the capsule.

3. Suppositories ( use of slang)
" Stuck this to your back door every night"
Case: a pharmacist used the phrase" back door" (which refer to rectum ) while
counselling on a patient on the use of suppositories
Result : The patient did exactly what he/she was told. The suppository was placed at
the back door every night. ( I mean the real DOOR)


These examples clearly illustrate the importance of GOOD counselling to ensure that patient understand how to use their medication properly.
