Pain patch: s/l "birthday" patches? - Beth


Posted: Aug 11, 2011

I'm sure this one is super easy, but I just can't get "birthday" out of my head, and nothing else is coming to mind.  Patient has localized back pain and the doc is suggesting "topical pain patches, such as <birthday> patches"... 

I feel just stupidly stumped on this one. Any help is appreciated.


Thanks in advance!

It was Flector patches, which sounds nothing like birthday. I think my ears are playing tricks on me today.

Got it. "Flector" patches - Beth

I know, I know, sounds nothing like "birthday". I listened and listened and finally got what maybe sounded like "fleppic" and went from there.

It's one of those days, I think.
