I had a patient who needed a prescription of Tylenol with Codeine because her bird had a cough. (seriously) What dose should I prescribe.
 
Give her 8 tabs qid prn. That is the ONLY effective dose for that condition. You may want to consider addind risperidone to her current regimen (the bird of course)

I seriously am not joking. The patient had gotten a few previous prescriptions of tylenol #3 or 4's, and was wondering if she could get some tylenol with codeine for her bird, which apparently had a cough. I thought it was a reasonable request.

I need to come see you as my "bird" needs oxycodone for his sore elbow. He has gotten previous prescriptions of OxyContin 40mg or 80 mg. It is a reasonable request... No?
 
How bout doing the legal thing and sending the pt. and her bird to a vet? You're not allowed to prescribe for animals.
