Consultant Chat #2: Scripted Questions (Also for your journal entry!):
I will be assisting you with filling out a wallet card that you can keep. Your information will be kept confidential between you and me. Use the Medical Emergency ID Wallet Card information above for this question.
Next, ask the following questions and put them in your journal entry after completing the medical card:
1. Did you receive a completed Medical Card from your student? Do you think it will be useful to you?
2. How do you pay for medicine? Is the expense for your medications a burden on your budget?
3. Do you go to the pharmacy to get your medications or have mail order delivery? Did you know there is a law that says that a licensed pharmacist MUST do an education session with every patient who comes to a pharmacy to get a prescription filled?

4. What health insurance coverage do you have?
