A visit to the doctor's office, prescriptions, hospital stays, emergency room, nursing homes, home-based healthcare, nurses, miles driven to see a doctor or nurse, Medicare, insurance premium payments. . .

Etc.

But to be deductible they must exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income IN AGGREGATE.

pusherhombre gives a number of examples. You can look at the instructions for schedule A also.

Only the amount that is OVER 7.5% of your income is deducted, and only if you itemize.
