List of medications...

When we go out on a rescue call, one of the major points of information we try to get from the patient or family is a current list of medications being taken.  Sometimes patients refuse forget to tell us about some of their medical history, the medication list gives us more clues to work with.

A while back, we had a patient with a number of chronic health issues, and the accompanying host of medications.  I found this little item, sitting right alongside the prescriptions.  Do we add this to our list of current medications??
