I had a medication save my life, thanks to me discovering it (the surgeon was going to cut, instead, but I wouldn't let him) but I still have the empty bottle from 2003 because I cannot for the life of me remember its name, never could pronounce it and might be able to spell it if I was in a spelling bee because I am a good speller but. . .

I don't think reeling off the names of one's medications, especially if one has several, and being able to spell them, etc. is that indicative of much. Yes, there's a certain laziness :-) in not going to get the bottle so one can copy the name here properly so others can comment if one wants that but I don't read much else into it.

I can never remember the name of my asthma corticosteroid, Flovent, or "corticosteroid" and get angry and confused when they're advertising the men's prostate med on TV, Flomax :-) But I'm quite sure what a corticosteroid is/does/how it works.
