Teaching an Old Doug New Tricks

Several years back, I adapted this game of Operation for my brother, Doug, and gave it to him on his 50th birthday. The box identified the maker as the Moldin' Badly Company (formerly Milton Bradley), a subsidiary of Hasbeenbro. The accompanying text on one side of the box posed the challenge: "Will Doug Make It Past 50? He Will With Your Help!"
Some small type, which you may not be able to make out:
• EXTRA-LOUD BUZZER that even he can hear
• PRESCRIPTION GLASSES for reading prescriptions
• DOESN'T WEAR SHOES but now only because he can't remember where he left them (he used to often go barefoot)
