The following is a true story, I kid you not.
When I was a Navy Corpsman stationed at MCAS, Yuma, Az., I prescribed some
Phenergan suppositories to a patient who was having nausea post surgery.
He came back to follow-up the next day and I asked him if the suppositories
had helped.
He said that he felt better but that the suppositories were really causing a
lot of pain. I couldn't figure out why they would cause him pain until I
realized that he had not removed them from the foil wrapper before use.
