The LONG list of meds

Here is a list of meds that Pablo is on as of today (he got 2 more prescriptions today which were not ridiculously expensive, thank goodness):

valproic acid (anti-seizure)
rhovane (to help Pablo sleep)
melatonine (to help Pablo sleep)
ondansetron (anti-nausea)
ranitidine (reduces stomach acid)
dexamethasone (anti-swelling)
cymbalta (anti-depressant)
oxycocet (pain med for headaches)
lorazepam (to help Pablo sleep)
muscle relaxant

Info Pablo got today at treatment:

Pablo was told today that he isn't sick enough to get in-home care.
Patients who get in-home care get to see social workers.
Pablo was given the name of a social worker anyway.
The hospital admitted that we should have been told about government funding for his medication A LONG TIME AGO.
Pablo might be able to get rides to and from his appointments 2-3 days a week through the cancer center.
A doctor saw him after his treatment today (again, NOT his oncologist) and he told Pablo that he shouldn't be driving anymore after this week.

  2. These experiences draw attention to the need for improved communication and support within healthcare systems to ensure sufferers like Pablo receive the comprehensive care they deserve. DAMAC Island in dubai
