Flu Season Madlib

I found a website that had several medicine-related madlibs on it.  I find madlibs great fun!  I’ll share them every so often in the Pharmacist Answers Podcast Community.

Here is a few of the outcomes from the group.  Things people say during flu season:

Laura says:

“I’ve had, like, six weeks of wheezing. I’ve been to the Kauffman Stadium and got a prescription for filet mignon. And then I kept having dry abs, and I went to Mosque and got another prescription for Pringles. That was 12 hours ago, and I’m not any better. I think I need some mascara because my friends took it and got better. And I’m just so tired of feeling bored. Can you give me something to make me teleport? Every year my regular doctor gives me brandy, and I always get better immediately.”

Ronei says:

“I’ve had, like, six weeks of bronchitis. I’ve been to the Bridgestone Arena and got a prescription for crab cakes with tartar sauce. And then I kept having dry glutes, and I went to Temple and got another prescription for french fries. That was a month ago, and I’m not any better. I think I need some keratin conditioner because my friends took it and got better. And I’m just so tired of feeling fearful. Can you give me something to make me invisible? Every year my regular doctor gives me wine, and I always get better immediately.”

The sad part is that this is a very accurate example of what people will say to me at the pharmacy counter!

Clueless About Diabetes Madlib

[source: diabetesduo.com]

While science understands many of the aspects of diabetes, and it still continues to learn more, society as a whole doesn’t have a clue.  If you have diabetes, I’m sure you’ve had some of the following statements said to you.  If you don’t, read this as a list of things to never say to someone with diabetes.

(Answers provided by Ronei, but they are not representative of her knowledge and support of people with diabetes, this is for comic value only.)

“Oh, you have dyebabeetees? So your lungs don’t work, right? Well, at least you don’t have cancer. My sister has it and got it because she ate too much sushi. Last year, she had her legs cuff off! I hear you can cure it by drinking water? I feel joy for you because those fuzzy needles would make me cook. And I could never have someone skate one of those pump things in my eyeball. My cousin had juvenile diabetes but outgrew it when she turned 102. I was reading in National Enquirer that Meryl Streep had it but reversed it by eating only enchiladas. And Olivia Davis has it and she’s lived a long time with no problems. I also read where lots of people who have it bad travel to England because they have a cure for it there. Don’t be sad, Dr. Paschall said there will be a cure here in America in 9 years. Then you can start eating chocolate chip cookies again!”
