I know this must be a minor and perhaps boring issue for most people, but as an elder citizen it has become important to me.  I get a bunch of prescription medications – usually without actually seeing the doctor, for a period of three months.  Nobody actually supervises this process, and as a person my age I’m entitled to have it all delivered to my home.  So no one even questions the mix. 

So far it’s been very convenient for me.  I know what to take and when and what not to mix.  But tonight I’d forgotten to ask for a delivery and had to go to the pharmacy myself, and for the first time this year, the pharmacist questioned the mix.  I would have liked to hug her for being the first to pay attention, but she was a very businesslike person and clearly wouldn’t have appreciated the gesture.
