Seth: i got my medications because they did a check up on me so i told them i had high blood pressure. they asked me what i took for medicine and i said nothin.
Liz: the would have a medical cart come to the pods and you were let out of your cell alphabetically to get and take your meds .
Nate: to get your medication you have to write a kite and you would have to wait for that to go through usually that would take out of the least I would say 15 hours.
