My meds are still changing so something engraved wouldn't work at this point.
Okay. You all convinced me. I ordered one of those lightweight plastic medic alert bracelets that I'll wear on my ankle. It looks like the most comfortable, and it has an easily replaceable paper record on the inside of it. My meds are still changing so something engraved wouldn't work at this point.
It's not a "medic alert" brand bracelet, but a different brand with the medic symbol on it. For me I think it's the best option, though I like the idea of having records in a central place that medical personnel can call, like the "medic alert" brand has.
Without the Medic Alert Emblem the emergency personel will just think it is jewelry. They will not pay any attention to it, without it.
:agree:Sadly E can mistaken for drinking or drug use. And I keep hearing of
E patients who haven't gotten medical attention as quickly as they could have due to this.
