If you take it by mouth and are not expected to then lick your own eyeball, it'd be "PO QD". If you're supposed to spit it in someone else's eye, they should have used the leading verb "give" instead.
We got a new computer system at the pharmacy where I worked. One of the pharmacists tried doing something without reading the manual first, and he managed to corrupt the file that had all the abbreviations in it. Suddenly, refill labels that had previously printed normally were coming out as gibberish (like "every other insufflate refrigerate rectally").
This sounds super painful!! I really don't know how you get something from your mouth into your right eye but it definitely wouldn't feel good regardless.
That’s the quick code for this mishap. What they meant was 1 po qd. Not entirely sure how they messed up the Q for O when they are on entirely different parts of the keyboard.

Years ago saw one posted said "inhale vaginally"
This has me laughing way too much
Is this r/menwritingwomen?
Yeah I saw wild ones like that too and it always cracks me up how people just roll with it.
I saw one that said to "inject into penis".
Ouch, no thank you
I’ll pray for you…
OD is right eye and O.D. is once daily. You’re not supposed to use the non eye version.
Interesting! Would OS be left eye then?
Yes
Also by mouth
PO?
Per Os
Lol what's the by mouth you were mentioning?
I’m so confused how did you deduce OS as being “left eye” from knowing “OD” was right?
D for dexter, meaning right, and S for sinister, meaning left
O is probably for oculus or something similar pertaining to the eyes. Dexter means right so S for sinister, left, felt reasonable.
Doctors love their Latin.

That’s horrible interpretation of sig codes. Should only be QD not O.D.
how… using your tongue?
Instructions for lizard people only.
I think bovine people can work this too.
Giraffes shouldn’t have any problem either
It doesn't say it needs to be your eye 😂
Oh, gods - not the eyeball licking thing again. It was bad enough the first time around, maybe 15 years ago.
OD = in right eye
QD = daily
and that completes our intensive three-week course
Well how about that. I’ve been doing it wrong all these years.
Doctor's orders I guess
They left out:
remove glass eye….
My personal clown can perform that
Someone mixed up OD and QD
So I need to find somebody that can spit it into my eye?
im actually curious, have time to kill, and tempted to call the number
You take the tablet orally and then use the power of your mind to send all the medication to treat your right eye only.
I'd feel so uncomfortable taking medical stuff that doesn't even have correct instructions...
Well, I guess that's one way to put a whole new spin on eye drops
It doesn't say it needs to be your tongue or eye. It's easy with friend. 👅👀
Ow! My eye!
I'm not supposed to get tablet in it!
I had a similar situation. It said my oxy was to be swallowed blah blah in right ear.
Into the right eye of yourself? Or into the right eye of somebody else. Instructuions slightly unclear, will test all possibilities.
Somehow.. challenge accepted

I have a left eye, and wrong eye. I guess I'll skip the second part.

1 po od

It reminds me of that MTV cartoon. Aeon flex, where the eye eats the fly....
loads Glock with tablet
Swallow your right eye first.
