Call to action
All this discussion raises some very valid points on all sides. However you choose to do it, we should all carry a list of our meds, strength and dosage.
So here's a call to action.
- Stop what you are doing right now and go get all your meds and make that list. If you have a list, check it against the bottles to make sure it is updated. Stick it in your wallet.
- If you have any questions about what you find, call your doctor's office and ask them to clarify.
- Set aside all expired meds or those you are no longer taking. Put them in a bag for disposal the next time there is a old medication disposal event. (Don't dump them in the toilet.)
There. It's still morning and you're done something to make your life and your attending's life so much easier. Have a great day!
