Not surprising, I also have a long list of medications. I'm not especially pleased with either of these facts, but it is what it is. Everybody gets the list, and nothing on it falls into the category of "fun." As frustrated as it is when folk don't know what's included under the heading of medications or think it's important to tell you, you should know that it goes both ways.<br /><br />It involves the doc (or member of clinic staff) looking at my list for a moment, and then remarking, "You take a lot of medication." Ya think? Nothing reassures a patient like a firm grasp of the obvious. No offers to take me off of any of them, though.

She looked at the instructor and said, "Why do you need to know if I take baby aspirin, what does that have to do with cleaning my teeth." <br /><br /> Took me 20 minutes alone to research all the drugs in the Dental Drug Reference. This semester I asked her ahead of time for her meds list and I still had to add some when she showed for her appointment. It was definitely a good learning experience. *smile through clenched teeth*Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03270000546237103091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-24522991675121546052010-11-22T17:38:08.444-05:002010-11-22T17:38:08.444-05:00"Do you have any medical problems?"
