I carry a typed list in my wallet with my prescriptions with the daily dosage, the dates of my last tetnus shot, flu shot, pencillian shot, and any allergy I have to a prescription drug.
If I go to a new doctor I hand them my list. They want to know my meds when I have a mammogram, I hand them my list. They love it because they can read it!
I put the list behind my driver's license in my wallet. I fold it so it sticks up a little higher than the license. Hopefully, if I'm ever in a medical emergency where an EMT (or any other emergency team) is involved they will see my med list when they look for my driverr's license.
I've also made medical lists for the three seniors (ages 85, 87 and 91) that I hlelp. Their list also includes my name and phone numbers to call in case of an emergency.
