Diflucan and Diprivan, huh? Looks like the pharmacist needs to brush up on their 'sounds like' skills. Maybe they should try a little 'name that drug' game during their breaks - could save a lot of embarrassment down the line.

Amiloride and Amlodipine? Sounds like a case of 'spot the difference' gone wrong. I wonder if the patient would end up with a heart condition or a diuretic overdose. Either way, it's not going to be pretty.

Definitely a dangerous mix-up. It's important to double check medications before administering.

Metronidazole and Metformin? That's just asking for trouble. I can see the doctor's face now when the patient comes back with a nasty case of thrush instead of diabetes medication.

Wow, this one's a real stumper. Looks like the drug companies need to work on their naming conventions. I bet the pharmacist would need a crystal ball to catch that kind of mistake.

Diflucan and Diprivan? Seriously? That's a recipe for a major mix-up. I can just imagine the patient waking up with a fungal infection instead of anesthesia. Yikes!
