The data speaks for itself

I used to work for a company that analyzed hospital patient stays, and one day I got bored and read through the government’s huge master list of all the things that could go wrong with you. I saved the best ones and posted them as the world’s funniest medical diagnoses.

Years later, I worked for a client that analyzed worker absences, and one day I got bored and read through the government’s huge master list of all the jobs that one could have. I saved the best ones and posted them as the world’s funniest job titles.

Now I work for a client who analyzes prescription drug transactions, and today I was looking through the government’s huge master list of 186,500 drug codes. Honestly, I wasn’t looking for anything in particular; I was just in there working with some data. But what did I find? A drug with the name:

4 WOMEN FEMME BERRIES

I think you can expect a full list of some pretty freaky drug names in the near future. But in the meantime, I’ll let you muse for a while on just what the heck kind of drug “4 Women Femme Berries” might be.
