YOU THE PATIENT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR LIST OF MEDICATIONS

WE SAID IT BEFORE IN ONE OF OUR VERY FIRST BLOGS. YOU-THE PATIENT-ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR LIST OF MEDICATIONS..AND FOR SEEING EVERY HEALTH PROVIDER HAS AN UPDATED COPY. IT PREVENTS POLYPHARMACY OR TAKING THINGS THAT MAY INTERACT OR BE DUPLICATES. WHAT DO WE MEAN? TYPE A LIST OF MEDICATIONS(OR ASK A FAMILY MEMBER TO DO IT) AND STORE IT IN YOUR COMPUTER. PRINT COPIES FOR YOUR DOCTORS. UPDATE IT MONTHLY. LIST YOUR ALLERGIES AS WELL. GIVE NEW COPIES AT YOUR DOCTOR VISITS. OF COURSE IT IS YOUR JOB. ITS YOUR LIFE AFTERALL. LETS NOT LEAVE IT UP TO SOMEONE ELSE TO GET ALL YOUR INFORMATION ORGANIZED. YOU DO AND SEE THAT OTHERS ARE AWARE.
