A bit off topic, but a number of years ago my mother suffered a life threatening incident. We thought she was a goner after weeks of what was meant to be palliative care. She survived, after a fashion, but once she could speak she refused all but two of her meds. Which cut about ten out of the program. Said she was sick of taking drugs to manage drugs.

I am curious about the lack of appetite for comprehensive, and independent, medication review for all patients with complex health issues. Most good chemists can give you some idea if there are contraindications, but how does the average Joe comunicate that to a whole phalanx of specialists? Had problems myself.
I'd love to push a reset button and figure out what I need and what I don't, and Im not in your difficult position.
Hang in there. Mxx
