During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with his cardiologist, he informed the doctor that he was having trouble with one of his medications.

"Which one?" the doctor asked.

"The patch," answered the patient.

The doctor then asked what kind of problem he was having with the patch.

The man then said, "Well, the directions say to put a new one on every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put one!"

The doctor had the man undress and discovered what he hoped he wouldn't see, but this particular patient had over fifty patches on his body!

He failed to read where the instructions say to remove the old patch before applying a new one.
