Embarrassing Medical Moments

During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with his cardiologist, he informed me, his doctor, 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 include removal of the old patch before applying a new one.
