The video I'm posting below reminds me of a conversation I just had.

I'm having a procedure done this week and just had an interesting talk with the hospital pharmacist. (Though I've lived here most of my life, it's been over 70 years since I've been a hospital patient and so they had no records, etc). It all went swimmingly until she asked me about vitamins and supplements I might be taking, and that was alright until I said, "10,000 IU vitamin D3 and 200 mg K2."

"You what? 10,000 IU?!"

She obviously did not like the idea.

Anyway, the video:
