Got that. So one would have to parse the audit logs for a plugin to display 
the medication history ?

Somthing comes to mind here.
When printing the current medication list wouldn't it be nice to print the 
medication history as well ?

BTW. When I restart a medication that has been stopped and deleted in the past 
is there some way to catch that other then parsing the audit system ?

That is correct. Pretty much like clicking 'edit' plus some automatic changes.
