Travel With A List Of Your Medications

Travel with a list of your medications.

Keep this list in your wallets and pocketbooks next to your driver's license.

Take your list with you each and every time you have a medical appointment.

Update your list each time a medical provider makes a change; such as increasing a dosage.

This list should include medications you are allergic to; all vitamin supplements, herbal remedies, home-made cocktails and potions.

Always volunteer any changes in your medication regimen to each and every health provider. By ensuring all of your health care providers see your list, you are helping to decrease the risk of medication errors. For example it helps to avoid prescribing you medications that should not be combined.

Even if you have a photographic memory and are very knowledgeable about your medications and health; You should keep a list because during a crisis, you may become overwhelmed and uncertain of specifics; especially if some of the medications are new to you.

In the unfortunate event that you are rushed to an emergency room, unable to communicate your needs; your list will help to ensure your therapeutic regimen of maintenance medications will continue without an extended delay.

Next to your list of medications; you want to have a list of your medical problems. List all surgical procedures and hospitalizations. Include any allergic reactions that you experiened during a diagnostic testing.

Welcome to the Big Apple !

Hi,

Thank you so much for peeking at my blog. Welcome to New York City. No doubt you're here for work, perhaps in film, music, fashion, theater or a book tour.

If you're following me on twitter, I thank you so much for the follow. I hope that the health matters I tweet are helpful for you, your family, friends, work team and co-workers.

I imagine you're wondering what confidential services I can provide.

As a Family Nurse Practitioner, I am educated, trained and licensed in New York State to provide you, your children, significant others and your parents with the health care services that you traditionally received in an office from a medical doctor.

My background is more than two decades working as a Registered Nurse.I received my advanced degree as a Nurse Practitioner  at Columbia University,
 NYC.  My focus as an NP has been in  Family practice.

It's very possible that you have already or perhaps know someone who has received health care services from a Nurse Practitioner (NP). We have been a part of the health care team here in the US for 40 Plus years with a well documented and very impressive customer service record.


Here is what I can provide for you. If you do not currently have your own private New York City based primary care provider, I can travel to you on set, on location here in New York City.

A typical scenario I can help you to avoid is travel to an emergency room for feeling unwell simply because your private doctor is unavailable. Naturally, when I examine you, I may determine that you indeed are very ill and require that trip to the emergency room. At the Emergency room I can accompany you and navigate the system for you and translate the medical mumbo jumbo for you.

Should you already have a private care provider here in New York, be it a doctor or another NP, I can be available if your person is away on vacation.

To reinforce, as an NP I am experienced, and licensed to examine, diagnose and treat illness, order and interpret diagnostic tests, write prescriptions for medication and refer you to a specialists if required. I provide health maintenance visits for persons with conditions such as Hypertension, Diabetes, High cholesterol, etc.  For women I provide routine Gyn services.

Again, I thank you for peeking at my page, I hope that you will follow me on twitter.
Should you require my services to help you maintain optimum wellness or in a time of illness, I hope that you will call or have your people call.

Sincerely,

Charity F. Munson
Family Nurse Practitioner
