Illness within my home...

Thinking more into what I wanted my leaflet to contain and baring in mind what the paramedic had spoke about in yesterdays class, I started thinking of my mothers illness.

Little Info:
My mother is a Renal patient.  Many years ago my mother had a kidney transplant, as my mother has a very low immune system you always have to watch out for any signs or symptoms that she may have that could lead to an infection. Always better to be on the safe side! :-)

Anyways...The paramedic had said that when calls are made from individuals to have details on the patients name, phone number, directions and address to home and perscribed medication.

The idea I had for my leaflet was basically to have signs or symptoms to look out for  - In my mothers case, Light head/headaches, shivery, high temperature/very high temperature that may lead to minor hallucinations, then the kidney infection signs on one page, then on the other a blank table where an individual can write the list of persriptions that the patient has been issued to take..Also information on how to make calls or contact paramedics.
