Medical ID Alert
Lately I have been buying health magazines instead of the usual gossip magazines. The more I focus on losing weight and getting more healthy the more I want to know about it. One of the topics in the magazines was ‘In Case of Emergency’ and what you can do to help the medics.
The first and easiest thing you can do is have an I.C.E. (in case of emergency) contact in your mobile phone. That way they know straight away who to contact in case something happens. The other thing that they recommended is an Emergency Medical Alert, also called a Medical ID alert.
If you are unable to speak for yourself the Medical ID alert can help identify medical problems, allergies, prescribed medication, emergency contacts, etc. This can be vital in a life or death situation. It can also help protect you for medical errors when you are admitted to a hospital.
Americanmedical-id.com offers a range of medical ID alert jewelry. You can get a personalized engraved Medical ID alert in many styles; bracelets, necklaces, charms or watches. I think it is a real good idea to wear a Medical ID alert. Even though we always think that accidents don’t happen to us, you never know what will in happen in the future.
I.C.E. is something that I learned during an emergency aid course. It’s a great idea but really depends on whether the “Good Samaritan” has heard of the concept.
I like the jewellery idea too. Not seen that yet.
