Why, just why would you check it in?
Seconded. Have taken heparin on board myself, and would never leave warfarin or asthma mess in luggage (spares fine, but not my only ones...). Brother in law the same with diabetes, has a couple of days worth in hand baggage as he doesn't need them just for the flight but in case his bag goes missing. Thought silly season news was over now
