Do you want better service from your pharmacy?
Then know what medications you are currently taking instead of thinking I'm a fucking telepath.

If they don't know, how will reading their mind help?

Maybe they have hidden memories

Hmmm, you type something into a form often enough you remember it.
Omeprazole 20mg x28
Lymecycline 408mg x28
Fexofenadine hydrochloride 180mg x30

Maybe you forget this
if you work in the field for long enough, but medicines have really fucking complicated names. Given the chance and consequences of getting it wrong I'd rather just say "I don't know".

So
So write it down. If it's anything important or there's an outside chance of needing it again. If it's a long word, FFS, try a letter a night until you've managed it all. "The yellow pills, you must know" is not good enough, sorry.

Perhaps I should try it myself though. It's a clear liquid I need, please. Couldn't be bothered to remember the name. Ah yes, insulin. Funny how easy to remember these hard words can get when your life depends on them.

Ooh, don't I sound all grumpy?!
