Being a cardiologist my list of 4 most commonly prescribed therapy are here in ascending order (most used is at the bottom).While SL. No. 4, 3, and 2 are available in tablet form in most hospital pharmacy, SL. No. 1 is becoming more and more difficult to acquire. Over time newer doctors might not even know the dosage and methods of application of such therapy and label it as ‘unproven’Endnote : As you can see above, you had to scroll down little-bit to see No. 1 (there is a discernible the gap between 2, 3, 4 and 1).A time might come when no amount of scrolling of the medication list will lead us to ‘Hope’.

If you don’t care, it’s very hard for me to care.Every day. Diabetic patients eating candy. 90% of our patients do not know their meds or bother to keep the copy I give at every single visit. Obesity is the new normal. People roll their eyes when I attempt to educate, or leave the written material we painstakingly prepare to be easy to understand, they just leave it behind. Most don’t even bother to pick it up off the table. We hand it to them, discuss it, and find it on the table after the appointment. Usually along with their medication list. More and more, people take calls, answer texts, play games on their phone during the appointment. They do not even pretend to be listening anymore. “Don’t you have a pill.” No, there is no magic pill to fix your shitty lifestyle or attitude.With healthcare as expensive and inconvenient as it is in the USA, I wonder why many of our patients even come. They don’t listen. They don’t take their medications, they don’t make the lifestyle changes that could save their lives.Why does this nurse keep at it? Because of that one in one thousand patients who actually makes those lifestyle changes. Diet and exercise can cure type two diabetes and heart disease, if it’s not too far gone. Those two can add years of life, good quality of life. Because of me, my nagging, my relentlessness, all of our patients have the same opportunities: An up to date medication list. Health and wellness information.But, it remains very challenging to care when a patient can’t be bothered to look away from their cell phones.

‘Eat it hot, something special today’ my wife had told me in the morning as she packed my lunch.Token number 51 was flashing on the OPD board.I looked at the watch - 2 45 PM.Ice-cold lunch box awaiting long postponed gala opening ceremony.-‘What medicines are you on now?’ I ask the middle-aged lady.‘Exactly same as you wrote last time when I saw you at your home-clinic last year’.Her puzzled look clearly reflected her frustration as to why the doctor doesn’t remember her medication list.‘I will tell you’, she started recollecting, ‘a small pink and two white round tablets in the morning for pressure, and the big white tablet before lunch for diabetes, and that light blue tablet before going to bed and one more…’.‘But, it would be helpful if we knew the name of medicines’ I tried to be supportive.She took out her smartphone.‘Ok, I shall call my husband and get the names’She dialled a number, and started jotting down the name of tablets on a paper, nodding in between.‘Here they are’, she started reading the list‘Hi-sir, work- hard, about, sun, ready’‘That’s the name of the medicine?’ I almost collapsed.30 secs later the ‘Dan Brown’ in me woke up; I realised that she was right and did not need a referral to psychiatry!!!We needed to improve.Her husband was reading out what always stands out as the most important label on a medicine strip – the manufacturers name.(Examples of Tablets)Here is who’s whoHi-sir - PfizerWork hard - WockhardtAbout - Abbott PharmaSun - Sun PharmaReady - Reddy’s Lab.-She was damn serious.
