What my pharmacist up here does is give me different sized bottles for each 
medication I take, and he was pretty gracious about it too.

Why not put differing tape or numbers of pieces of tape or rubber bands on 
the bottles and do this at the pharmacy so yu know what you've got and don't 
need a machine. Been doing that for over fifty years and never took the 
wrong pill yet.

Hello,
I think my husband shared that I have the machine that reads the labels
for the bottles.
I love it.
I am not on the board though, where I would encourage anyone to get
this machine, it is a brake for us.
Now I don't have to have anyone read my bottle lables so I can make
sure I am taking the correct medicine.
I check allot because the bottles can look the same.
And from the drug store I use, the pills can almost feel the same as well.
I am sure they are different colors, loll but for a total that just
doesn't do it rite?
What is it you would like the board member to do?
