It wasn't until I had a heart attack and my husband brought my chart to the EMTs and, subsequently, to the Emergency Room staff, that I realized how helpful and important it was. It literally saved my life. Because my chart listed many medications that I was allergic to, the doctors proceeded with caution. The staff in the Emergency Room and the EMTs told me that they wished all patients had a medical diary such as mymedmanager.
No matter if you are a "well" patient or a patient that has medical problems, this organizer is an essential part of helping doctors, hospitals, and nurses know exactly what medications you are on, what you have been on, and your previous test results. In this way, you can be your own healthcare advocate."

"...during office visits, my patient was often uncertain about doses, names of medications, and important precautions. This quickly changed into an efficient, accurate review when the patient began using the mymedmanager medication chart. I often made a copy of the patient's current chart to place in my records so I could do a better job of keeping track of the multiple medications..."

"Recently I had a very high PSA, urinary blockage requiring catheter and undiagnosed lyme disease hit all at once. Because we have not had enough experience yet with lyme disease in this area, the hospital did test after test to diagnose what was causing a series of apparently odd symptoms. I was filled with some powerful pain killing drugs that made me fuzzy. Mymedmanager made it easy to keep track of the tests and the medications. In my condition I doubt that I would have been able to manage this combination of medical issues on my own."
"mymedmanager is unique in that it doesn't try to be all things for all people. Instead of being "the only organizer you'll ever need" (I'm not saying these others are bad - I've seen some very good ones), this one is for medical needs only. And I rather like that. It's slim and portable. It is spiral bound so it lays flat. The writing spaces are easy to use and large enough for the information needed. The organizer has a unique system with sticky labels for medicine bottles to help coordinate the list and bottles. It also helps people remember times to take the medications and when to order refills. There is, of course, space for all the expected medical information such as contacts, tests taken and dates, wallet information and more. I do like this one and think it would be helpful for many elders."
