[Diabetes-talk] Walmart Talking Prescription Containers: Order...

Sun Mar 31 19:30:46 UTC 2013

Mike and all,
If it wasn't for this method, I would have a devel of a time getting my 
medicines read to me.
When I was with Humana the medicine came to me from out of state.
There wasn't a way for me to write on the bottles before they came here.
Then to find someone to help me sort out the pills drove me crazy.
Now this way, I can speak to the lady on what I am asking for, where 
they put the lables on the lids of the bottles.
then it also tells me what some of the side effects are, that is good 
to know so I know what to expect.
this is threw our program here in town.
Billings for the most part is behind in everything, it is good to see 
them doing something that could help others.
for wall mart, it also was interesting that only the capital is the 
only city that has this going.
When I have asked our wall mart here in town, you would have thought I 
was causing the pleg.
Some of the folks really get mad when I ask if they have this going yet.
this has worked out well for me.
