Why does
your provider
ask you to
'bring all your
medicines to
every visit?'
When you call your primary
care provider (or specialist for
that matter) to schedule an ap-
pointment you are often asked
to bring all your medicines
with you. You may think that
is a nuisance or unnecessary
because, after all, they have a
record of all your meds. May-
be... .maybe not.
Do you see more than one
provider? Most people do
eventually and information
between practices may or may
not be shared efficiently. Pre-
scriptions you receive from
Dr. A may not be reflected in
the records at Dr. B’s office.
Did you get an antibiotic pre-
scription or a pain pill at the
dentist’s office? The more
people involved in your care
the greater likelihood of a
medicine error. That makes
constant communication im-
portant.
Do you take over-the-
counter medicines? Allergy
meds?Cold medicine? An
aspirin a day? How about
vitamins and supplements?
Maybe you take a Benadryl
at bedtime to help you sleep?
All of these have the poten-
tial to interact with each other
and many other medicines..
Many common over the coun-
ter meds have 2 or 3 or even
4 medicines in a single dose.
You might be taking a drug
and not even realize it because
it is bundled in with others in
a single pill.
Every medicine has some
potential to interact with oth-
ers no matter how “safe”
they may be. Acetaminophen
(brand name Tylenol) is a
pretty safe medicine if you
follow the dosing guidelines
(despite recent press to the
contrary). If you take it with
certain anti-fungal meds you
may be putting your liver at
risk. If you are on a blood
thinner and take and aspirin
or an ibuprofen your risk of
bleeding goes up substantial-
ly. If you are taking warfarin
to thin your blood some vi-
tamins can make your blood
too thick making it ineffective
and some can make it to thin
and cause you to bleed.
If you are getting a little
older like me you may have
lots of medicines in you cabi-
net. Have any of them been
discontinued? Has the dose
been changed? Sometimes
it is pretty hard to remember
particularly if you take lots of
different medicines. You could
very well be taking something
you shouldn’t.
The bottom line is this...
only by communicating with
your various providers can
you minimize the risk of tak-
ing the wrong medicines or
the wrong combinations of
medicines. Even if they don’t
ask when you make you ap-
pointment, take all your medi-
cines with you to every visit
so your providers can review
them with you. It is impor-
tant to help keep you safe and
healthy.

In Years Gone By
From the files of the Cooper Review
Pastor's Corner

Council updated
on slaughter plant
CHS History Room
underway
By Jim Butler
Owner/Publisher
In their regular meeting
Monday, the Council heard
an update on the proposed
slaughter plant to be built
on the west side of Cooper.
Azhar Mohammed and Mo-
hammed Ahmed represent-
ing Halaway, Inc. along with
Ben Jasso representing Triple
J Livestock, LLC explained
the plans and presented a
plant design for the operation.
They said that about 7,000 lbs
of cattle will be slaughtered
each day at the Cooper Plant
and slaughter will be done
using Halal practices since
the meat will be sold to the
Islamic markets in the Dal-
las area. Azhar Mohammed
explained Halal. “It means
lawful or permitted. It not
only applies to food, it also
applies to a person’s behav-
iors, habits and things they
consume. Halal restricts that
animals be hand slaughtered
and properly blessed as they
are slaughtered.”
Ben Jasso is working with
Halaway, Inc. to get the
10,000 sq. ft. building and
2 acre site setup as a slaugh-
ter operation. The plant will
initially employee 6 people
and open by October 1,2014.
Two 50 foot by 90 foot, 6 foot
deep holding lagoons will be
built to comply with State
requirements for pre-treat-
ment of wastes. Jasso told the
Council that he has over 10
years of experience running
a slaughter plant in Wilmer,
Texas and his plant is one of
the top rated slaughter plants
in Texas.
Since the Council had ap-
proved the slaughter plant
several months ago, no action
was required.
In other business, discussion
and action on the Delta Coun-
ty Appraisal District budget
was tabled since changes are
being made to the previously
submitted budget. Approval
was given to allow Sanitation
Solutions to raise their rates
by 1.95 percent. This increase
will be absorbed by the City
and customers will not see
an increase on their bills. Ap-
proval was given to place two
“Children at Play” signs on
West Beaumont and SW 6th
Street. Mayor Stegall surveyed
those who live on these streets
and reported to the Council 11
out of 13 wanted the signs.
Additionally, Nicki Beeler
was reappointed to a two year
term on the SURRMA Board.
Departmental and monthly
budget reports were heard and
bills were approved for pay-
ment.
The next Cooper City Coun-
cil meeting will be on August
11, 2014 at 6 p.m. at City
Hall.
