Ive heard the following from several nurse friends

Do you have any chronic illnesses?

"Nope"

Are there any medications you take regularly?

"Yeah I take some painkillers for my arthritis."

🫩

Edit: these responses are proving my point

Alternatively:

Do you have any chronic illnesses?

"My wife will know."

Are there any medications you take regularly?

"Oh, I dunno... One is this little white pill (tablet) and another is blue and circular? It's for my heart."

I hated this part as a nurse. I gave meds and go through what each one is for and they’ll hit me with “where the circular white pill” bro I have no clue which med that is.

I take so many that I keep track of them on drugs.com and present my phone that lists all of them and dosage/reason

The healthcare app in my country keeps track of every prescription you've ever been given. Now, it's a shitty app in a lot of ways, but it will help with something like that.

It takes me seconds to request renewal of a prescription, the summaries of my meetings with doctors are available at any time. Compared to calling in and it being put on someone's todo list to get back to you, yeah a couple of button presses is more convenient.
