Yep - you should see the happy looks when I used to bring Mom/Dad to the hospital, and handed them that, and the times I've had to go in, or go to a new MD, and I hand them the "The list"

Makes for a very happy triage nurse
I'm glad to hear some positive experiences with that. Every time I've given a doctor or pharmacist such a list they treat me like I'm a hypochondriac anal-retentive freakshow to be regarded with suspicion. Instead of what I am: a responsible patient who is trying to make their job easier, or trying to make sure I don't get the wrong treatment due to their laziness. *eye roll*
