(SETTING: My sleep doctor’s office as the nurse is reviewing my meds list.)
NURSE—And has anything changed in your medications?
ME—No, I don’t think so. My doctor had me on an antibiotic recently, but other than that I don’t think anything has changed.
(The nurse looks down a list of my medications and supplements until she reaches…)
NURSE— And are you still taking the… Ninjacof?
ME—Um, Ninja Cough? That doesn’t ring any bells.
NURSE— Ninjacov… ninja cough… I guess that’s how this is pronounced.
ME—Well, if I was taking anything else, I would certainly hope it had “ninja” in the title, but that’s not one I’ve ever taken.
(Made her laugh. She then looked up Ninjacof, which turns out to be a cough and sneeze suppressant. I’ve indeed never taken it nor heard of it. Neither of us knew how it managed to get into my record. Must be ninjas.)
