The word or prefix "post" never means "before"; in fact, it means the exact opposite. "Post" is a Latin-derived prefix and term meaning "after," "subsequent to," or "later in time" (such as post-mortem or postseason). Its direct temporal counterpart is the prefix "pre-," which specifically means "before," "prior to," or "in front of" (such as preschool or preliminary). Confusing these two opposing prefixes alters chronological timelines and medical instructions completely.
