Over Medication

The other day my father ended up in the hospital for two days. Now for those that don't know him, he and my mother both take a lot of prescription drugs. Morning and night. After two days in the hospital with none of his daily medication being taken he looked better then he has in years.....Go figure. A young doctor came into his room to check on him and I told him of this observation and he told dad that when he gets out of the hospital to take all his medication to his doctor and go over them one at a time to see if he still needs them. He said, "don't take a list, take the actual bottles of pills. Its harder to ignore the actual bottles" Finally a doctor that listens.
