Line 54:
* In ''[[For Better or For Worse]]'', Deanna gets pregnant with her and Michael's first child, Meredith, by accident. She claimed she was switching birth control prescriptions and didn't know that there would be a period of increased fertility between cycling off the old meds and starting the new. Although not everyone knows this side effect, Deanna is a pharmacist and admits she should have realized the risk.
** Perhaps an example of an [[Unreliable Expositor]]; her husband and sister-in-law are both dubious of Deanna's explanation, and a family friend calls it a "[http://catalog.fborfw.com/indexdate.php?q=2002-02-18 planned accident]{{Dead link}}".
<!-- * In one arc of ''[[Peanuts]]'', Woodstock is sick and Snoopy says he has the vapors. "The vapors" is in fact a symptom of a low grade fever (a dizzy, lightheaded, disconnected feeling) not an illness onto itself. MOD: That's not pharmacology, which has to do with medicines and drugs. That's just diagnosis. -->
