Funny Pronunciation of the Day

A new prescription was left on the voicemail for a regular patient of mine.

“This is Sue from Dr. Smith’s office calling in a prescription for Mr. Sam Jones for spirono-lono-lono-lactone 25mg po BID number sixty two refills.”

hahaha

It’s “spir-ono-lactone.”

However, I can’t make fun toooo much, as when I first started as a clerk I thought GoLytely was pronounced “Goly-tely” instead of “Go-lightly.”

I used to mangle dipyridamole, too; and still have a small mental block when it comes to pronouncing that drug name.
