Sorry for posting here, but I need some quick views on this.

I was going home and I saw a man collapsed at the tube exit. I helped him, moved him in the shade and he told me he has Parkinson.

I gave him his drugs and left. I then realised that I have his parkinson drugs in my bag.

I am so worried for the man, maybe he needs his medications. I went back to where he was, but he is not there any more.

What do I do? There is no name on the drugs, I feel so so bad. I wanted to do a good deed but things went the wrong way.

Please help!

Why would you put his drugs in your bag? Is there a pharmacy label on the drugs?

emanuela · 08/07/2013 19:26

Because it just happened. I don't remember how I think I was looking for a Kleenex and they must have slipped in. No name or pharmacy label unfortunately

No name on the drugs? was there no pharmacy label so you could take it back to the pharmacy?

Are you sure they are parkinsons drugs then? You could have inadvertantly given him anything!

As you have no way of contacting him I would take them to your local pharmacy for them to dispose of.

No, it is just a strip of drugs (you know, the ones you find in the package so it was not in the proper box/container). I am so stressed, I wanted to help him and instead this happened. I feel incredibly stupid

They are Parkinson's drugs I checked online. What do I do?

If it's just a strip, taken out of the box then he probably has more at home.

I'd take them to a local chemist and let the station know what you've done in case he tries to retrieve them from lost property.

If it's just a strip, there's a good chance he has more supplies at home to tide him over. I take daily meds and sometimes take one strip in my handbag in case I realise at 11am that I've forgotten the morning dose! I keep the main box at home though.
If you have no way of tracking him down, then take the strip into your regulat chemist and explain the situation.

Thanks, I will drop the strip off at the pharmacy explaining the situation, I hope he is ok and has more.

If it was just a strip he'll have more. Pease don't worry and well done for helping him. Flowers
