it's spelled how?

Today when I walked in there were already 3 messages on my desk...One was a refill for....
Wait for it...
wait for it...
 "a big white pill".. yes that is what the message says... so I call the pt and she is very elderly and very confused and after 5 minutes of her telling me that she needs her white bladder pill i ask her to spell the name of the med on the bottle 

this is what she spells:

T-A-K-E-O-N-E-T-A-B-L-E-T-B-Y-M-O-U-T-H

PT: wow that is a really long word i dont know how to say it....

I had to put her on hold I was laughing so hard!!!

I then explained that is HOW you take it, not WHAT she takes...

So after many many attempts i finally call the pharmacy, long story short this pt is so well known even the pharmacist knew her by name and thats never good! 

*sigh* at least it was taken care of and it definately made me laugh!
