DOC - Medication

The file in which the patient’s regular (current) medication is recorded bears the code name medXYZ.drugs, where XYZ corresponds to the patient’s numerical identifier. For example, med100.drugs contains the medicines prescribed for NIKOLAOS_PAPADOPOULOS_6945678901.

To display this open file in the Obsidian File Explorer (see Fig. 3), click on the file icon located at the top right-hand side of the title bar (see Fig. 2).
