It happened on the first day of lecture because I was able to answer most of her questions on basic pharmacology, thanks to my Form 6 days. Thanks to that phenomenon, she makes it a point to ask me all the first questions she have in the lecture ; every single lecture.
Thanks to that, I too make a point to read up her notes before her lecture begins; and I managed to practice that for other courses too.
So yesterday we had lecture on prescription writing. She wanted us to present our definitions on prescription. Here's mine:
The details of a drug including its active ingredient, dosage, administration route, frequency and duration which is given to the patient specifically to alleviate an indication by a veterinarian.
What the lecturer had in mind was:
The instruction given to the pharmacist by a veterinarian to prepare a drug for use in the patient for the client.
I forgot.
Our patients can't comprehend prescriptions. Our clients can.
For that, the lecturer gave a comment of "Patient? Naughty boy... how can your patient read this?" while the whole class burst into laughter; including me.
Naughty boy? Well, it has been a long time. Pun both intended and not.
