When People Cannot Spell the Name of Their Medications

...does it ever make you concerned that they have not taken the time to read and understand what they are taking?

I mean, I know some people can't spell, can't memorize the exact spelling of some complicated chemical name, or even wish to google for the correct spelling. However, I see some people spell the names in such a way that it seems to indicate that they do not pronounce it correctly either, and I am talking about missing or out of place syllables, or changed consonants.

I just think it's important to look things up! It bothers me that people blindly take medication, assuming that they are perfect, without understanding their mechanisms.

Your thoughts?

(This is not a jab at anyone, I do not take anyone less seriously because they misspell.)

Please bear with those of us who cannot remember the names of their meds, let alone spell them. It may not because we are lazy but because something- maybe meds, maybe ECT, or maybe something else impairs memory. I, too, carry a list of my meds in my wallet. Also, my pdoc has directed that my H give me my meds. He lets me have one day's worth at a time. There is a reason for that, too.

Thanks for making me feel worse about myself than I already am. And by the way, I have always been able to write and spell very well. I guess I am too annoying to be here. Goodbye.
Nobody and nothing...you all just proved that. Please, no responses or pms.
