Subject: RE: BS: med. emergency tags-expecting disaster?
Medic Alert Tags are worn as a necklace or bracelet and lets anyone treating you know of possible conditions or allegies that might affect their treatment when you are not in a position to tell them. Emergency Medical Specialists, paramedics, and ER personnel are trained to look for these before administering drugs or treatment. I am severely allegic to a drug in the valium family for instance and using it as a tranquilizing agent will cause me to have life threatening heart problems.

You can also wear one that says there is a crd in your wallet if you have more than one thing that should be noted. I look to all apearances and actions to be extremely healthy, but I'm so screwed up with cardiovascular problems that mine says....."Fuck It...The Boy Is Circling The Drain"
