Mr.AW, if you're wondering what to do with a lower capacity USB thumb
drive, do what I've done. I took a 4gb drive and put all my medical
records on it so I can hand it to my doctor or other medical personnel
when they ask about my medical history. I've been saved twice by
paramedics and the 4gb Sandisk thumb drive on a lanyard around my neck
has all my information on it. The fraking medications I take fill a
whole page. The first time I saw my new GP in her office, I handed her
the thumb drive and she was able to print out a page with all my meds
on it.

Thankfully, I don't take any medications, so my drive would be empty.

Besides, any doctor or nurse in my HMO can pull up my full medical record,
including any medications I might be taking. I can log in here at home and
look it up myself as well.

I get asked all the time about medications that I take and what I stopped taking. I'd peel the labels off my pill bottles then stick them on a page of 8 1/2 X 11 pasteboard. I'd scan it into my computer and have an image of labels on meds that different doctors have given me. It shows the pharmacy and the instructions for taking the medications. I get on the Internet and lookup all the meds I'm given and have found that some of them interact poorly with others. One medication I was given interacted with a blood pressure med I took for years. It caused me to wet the bed. It was embarrassing when I was 7 and extremely mortifying when I was over 60. ^_^
