How Many Days?

On rare occasions I can still get shocked by what people tell me in the pharmacy. I had a patient come in today to get a medication. This particular medication is only effective if taken within 72 hours of a certain occurrence on which I won't elaborate. Anyway, when I explained this to the patient, they asked, "How many days is 72 hours."

I'll admit I'm not a math expert. But, we're not talking calculus here...if you don't know how many hours are in a day, maybe you shouldn't be allowed out of the house alone.
