Where I live, there's a big health system which has access to all of one's medical history, including meds, and all they have to do is look it up on the computer. I carry a printout of my med list in my wallet, and change it out whenever my meds change, so that if I go to a medical group outside the system, I can just hand it to them to make a copy for my file there. That way I don't have to try to remember them all (I'm on 12 prescriptions and several supplements) and don't have to answer a bunch of intrusive questions.

This is common practice in most health systems nowadays. You may want to check with your doctor's office to see if they are part of a larger network of doctors, clinics, and hospitals.....almost everybody has electronic medical records now.
