NOTE:
Here’s also some info about the Medic Alert bracelets and necklaces. http://www.medicalert.org/ Although they’re not the most stunning jewelry in the world (You COULD keep the necklace kind of hidden in your blouse.) they have saved many lives.
Medics recognize it and you can change your information, when needed. (Like if your meds change.) They also know whom to contact, especially if you end up in the hospital. The price for membership is just $30 a year. And if you have an “Advance Directive,” they will include it with your information — FREE.
Another option is the
FREE Personalized Med ID cards http://www.medids.com/free-id.php that you can print out from the web. You can laminate yours and put one in your wallet, plus print out a new one every time your information changes. The website also has a selection of functional emergency alert jewelry. But, whatever you choose, it can’t hurt to have an
In Case of Emergency (ICE) card also.
Finally, there’s the
Invisible Bracelet http://www.invisiblebracelet.org/site/sections/1-the-national-emergency-health-registry for the super discreet. It’s a medical ID system that allows medics to know everything they need to and contact your loved ones in case of emergency, but the identifiers aren’t worn. The system is simply tied to a PIN number on your membership card and other Invisible Bracelet identifiers. At $10 per year, it’s a bargain!
