Yup. Up side down.

Wall outlets are too.

Yep, you and timo are correct.
After I pointed that out to the receptionist and my doctor, 1 year later it still was upside down.

Now, the wall outlets … that’s a debate .. there’s people who say “upside down” is correct as the ground pin would be struck if something fell between a partly plugged in plug and not cause a short. Then there are others who say the neutral flat is wider and taller than the hot (actual current carrying) flat, so “smiley face” way is ok. In my local SE Michigan electrical code either way is allowed, and NEC.

Bonus:
When you mount plugs sideways you should then put the neutral “up” as shown, but it’s best practice not code either.

I was a draftsman, special tool designer 1979-1984. Here’s a machine I designed after built. The shop was a plastics injection molded place with full assy to auto plants. Myself and 4 guys were the whole drafting dept, then 6 guys in the tool dept, then the bigger parts plant. I was lead designer, had a detailer that reported to me.
Best job I’ve had to learn from, team wise. Everyone and everything matters. If your design had issues, it caused tool shop $$$’s, or worse plant downtime.
