Seriously. If every patient I saw in the ER came equipped with at least items 1 and 2, medical care would be a whole lot better overall. (The "I take a yellow pill in the morning..." comments really strike a chord with me. Then the patient wonders 2 days later why they're not getting their regular meds. Maybe cuz 'yellow pill' isn't in our pharmacy formulary.)
