Look-alike pills: The proposed solution (different colored pills) is likely ineffective if the pills are on the bed-side table and swallowed during the night. I’d bet that in many cases people take the pills during the night without turning on the light!
I tend to agree with John Graham. In addition, shouldn’t people be held responsible for their own actions? Putting thyroid medication next to sleep medication and (supposedly) taking the wrong one is hardly an excuse.
If she had difficulty differentiating between the two bottles, should could easily scotch tape something small to one bottle to change the tactile sensation.

“The SAT, Test Prep, Income and Race”
Every graph says the same thing. Gradual increase in income is related to the score. How is this questionable?
I agree, there is definitely a correlation. It’s just how deep that correlation is. From what the point spread says not much.
Two students are identical in everything. One gets 50 points higher on the SAT. Who gets into college?
If people went straight from the bottle into their 7 day planner issues wouldn’t happen
Local pharmacies sells hundreds of different kinds! Even if people only take 1 or two pills a day they can still be extremely helpful
Agreed
“Food deserts aren’t the problem”
What approach can we take to fighting childhood obesity?
I someday hope to sit in a room for months solving that issue. It’s so complex, one fix would not be enough
Parental knowledge can be a start
Who will educate the parents though?
Devon Herrick and I should apply for a government grant to launch a pilot study of the pill problem!
