I had a praluent delivery scheduled for delivery on Friday last week, but UPS delayed it until Monday of this week.

Praluent needs refrigeration.

By the time it got here, it wasn't refrigerated anymore. The ice packs it was packed with had melted long before it got here.

I send a message to my pharmacy on Monday evening. They contacted me by phone today.

A replacement is going to be shipped.

OMG! I shot myself!

"What happened?"

I shot myself with my alirocumab.

"Your ali-what?"

My praluent.

"Your what?"

My PCSK9 inhibitor.

"What does it do?"

As the name says, it inhibits the PCSK9.

"What's the PCSK9?"

Hell if I know. A protein, I guess.

"What's a protein?"

Did you fail biology class?

"Yes."

Well...
