Hilarious NHS leaflet accidentally makes paracetamol look like something VERY rude
The pamphlet has been shared on Facebook, and people can't stop laughing after noticing the apparent gaffe
THE point of this NHS leaflet is very important... but unfortunately it's probably not what a lot of people are focusing on.
In 2015 the NHS spent millions on paracetamol tablets which can be bought 20 times cheaper elsewhere.
So it seems natural to suggest prescriptions for the painkiller, as well as Ibuprofen, might not be a necessity.
That's apparently the message of this leaflet, which appears to have come from the NHS.
It was shared on Facebook by Jordan Paramor, but unfortunately it's not the message that people are focusing on.
Instead it's the very awkward placement of the two tablets half-way down the picture.
The capsules have been drawn in such a way that they look like male genitals - and once people realised it they couldn't believe their eyes.
Jordan wrote: "Is it just me or do the NHS need to rethink the design of this leaflet?"
Many laughed at the apparent gaffe, with a few pointing out the spot said more about those who thought the pills looked rude than the leaflet's designer.
"If you're partner has a penis the shape of a T-shape baguette (or two) then he needs a visit to the GUM team," one commented.
The NHS is cracking down on painkiller prescriptions in a bid to save millions, with cough remedies also facing the axe.
