-If you merge two items that are, in fact, different, you will really mess things up. There is no undo function for this operation, so you will be begging us to help you fix the mess, and we charge a special penal rate for people who do things after having been warned ;-)
+Merging items transfers the transaction history from the merged item to the item you keep.  If you merge "Something innocuous” with “Something deadly”, then, for example, the patient history will show that you issued “Something deadly” to everyone who actually received “Something innocuous”.
+Merging items is **IRREVERSIBLE**.  If you merge two items when you didn't mean to, we are willing to help, but could take many hours and we charge a special penalty rate for people who do things after having been warned ;-)
