Packaging

You are the weakest link, goodbye!

From Mrs M. F. Black, MRPharmS

Last Christmas we were given a family game entitled "The weakest link", issued by the BBC. This contained a small gadget (5cm x 7cm x 8mm) with a red button which, when pressed, says "You are the weakest link, goodbye".

With the wonders of modern technology it might be possible to create a smaller device which could be attached to a medicine container to tell a blind patient the name of a medicine and when to take it, as an adjunct to the more detailed label. I suppose that such an item would not be expensive.
