Today while admitting a patient looked in the clinic notes for a medication list and found:
Heart pill
Diabetes pill
Headache pill
Bladder pill
This was actually entered by one of the clinic personnel. On interviewing patient got a phone number and called his daughter-in-law to go to his house and read the bottles to me. Turns out these were fairly serious medications and it is really helpful to know about them. Seems like it might have been helpful in the clinic, too.
