One day at the Pharmacy, I was helping a older gentleman with his medication as he pulled out a large white envelope. He said "Id like to ask you about these." He opened the envelope and inside contained little worms.... I (stupidly) asked "Well where did they come from?" He replied, "I fished them out of the toilet this morning after my BM." Gagging I let him know he needs to go show his doctor. Later that day we got an RX for Vermox and he let me know I was right for him going to the doctor because those worms were growing inside him.... *face palm*Celindahttp://fatchickversusthebakery.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-63217250581126732022011-02-08T16:55:42.821-05:002011-02-08T16:55:42.821-05:00At least it only came off his foot.At least it only came off his foot.Michelle Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16472120868084570461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-72626312296457000262011-02-08T16:28:47.069-05:002011-02-08T16:28:47.069-05:00"Well, see Doc, I've also had this ulcer ..."Well, see Doc, I've also had this ulcer on my nether regions..."
