Well, unless the boss has a complete loss of vision or doesn't pay attention to what she shoves up her vadge, nobody fucked with her bc. "Samples" are not inactive (the Dr gives you "samples" to see if you can tolerate the med and if it helps), placebo demonstration devices are. And if whatever it was she ordered was inactive, it has to say so on the package, meaning it would look different to the goofy boss.
