I've made spreadsheets with all of our medications and vaccination on one sheet, and another spreadsheet with surgical and doctor's visits. They're on the fridge and I also uploaded them to my phone. The spreadsheet columns on the first med sheet is the medication generic, with brand name in parens): What it looks like: The purpose: the mgs: the times to take it, and who prescribed it. I also put the vaccinations i.e COVID, Shingles, Flu, and family history.
On the second sheet I enter the date: reason for doctor visit/surgery/test: the Tx, the Dx, the Rx prescribed, the results of any tests, and followup dates.
I also put the last 3-4 lab results and the doctors the patient has.
I do this for myself, my hubs, and friends and family.
This was very informative and a must for everyone to have on hand. We all think we'll do it later; there's plenty of time. But we all need to be ready for those emergencies. Thank you!
