Nursing Hacks What’s a little white lie you tell the completely confused patient?

I’m always telling the cirrhosis dude his truck is in the shop. Then I tell him his buddy dared him to “shoot” his lactulose and give him a sprite chaser.

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.

I have checked 676,315,867 comments, and only 136,982 of them were in alphabetical order.

It’s the order of the words, not the words themselves.

It definitely could be worded better. I remember thinking the same thing when I first saw this bot, that each word was alphabetical. But no, it's the sentence as a whole whose words are in alphabetical order.
