The Misapplied Medication

During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with his cardiologist, the doctor asked, “How have you been?” And the patient replied, “I’m having trouble with one of my medications.” And the doctor asked, “Which one of your medications?" The patient responded, “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."

When the doctor asked the patient to quickly undress, he discovered what he had hoped he wouldn't see. Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body. Now, the instructions include removal of the old patch before applying a new one.
