3-4 meds?
I'll tell you from actual experience as an RN at TVRH that people who are inpatients at the hospital average MUCH more than 3 home meds. It's rare if anyone over the age of 50 has 2 or less. Many, many have 10 or more!
I'm not saying it's wrong or right - just letting you know my experience over the past 8 months at TVRH.
And PS > My personal doc up north (and so far down here) has never, ever left my room to talk to a RX rep. I know for a fact that he made them come on a certain day, at a certain time. And he gave all all of the 'free' samples to those people who could use a break (money wise).
