Can I just ask you if you can remember what drugs you're on at the moment?
I'll just give them to you. What… where did I… what did I do with them?
Can you read them out for me?
I can't pronounce them! [looks down to read] Aspirin 75ml, one a day, Amiodarone, 200mg, one a day, Frusemide 40mg, one a day, and Frusemide, 20mg, one a day - they've built that up a bit - [phew.] can't pronounce that [pause] or something, potassium 25… I don't know what that is, and Formax. Formax is... I used to take that once a week, and that's because, I had a fall and damaged my bones, but that's just for bones, kind of… strengthening up my bones. But this other one I can't even read it. [tries to read it]
Don't worry.
Sprino… no… no. lactin.
So how many tablets is that a day, that you have to remember to take?
...[counts] one, two three… five a day, but I do take cod liver oil and these capsules, you know, but the ones I take, medicine, is five, innit? Six. [refers to wife] What's the sixth? Three in the morning, two at dinner time…
Don't worry.
Thought it was five.
I think your wife's saying to you, have you counted the aspirin in with that lot?
Yeah I said aspirin.
How do you remember to take them?
I don't, my wife does. |
