[nfb-talk] {Disarmed} Fw: Access Board Working Group on Accessible Drug Labels to Hold First Meeting

Tue Dec 18 01:46:45 UTC 2012

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?
