We touched on this once before but I really wanted a few more words on the subject........Sorry, but it hits home kinda' hard every now and then so a few more words can't hurt. In a previous discussion we did talk some pros and cons.......But here is another chance.

Because of my past history and current meds, I wear one now. I recently found a nice, nickel sized locket style that is waterproof, fireproof, etc. Inside is a very thorough, but small chart containing history, meds, Docs, other contacts, blood type, allergies, etc. with accompanying phone numbers and other vital info. It's easily readable, believe it or not, and can provide Emergency Personnel with a ton of info very quickly. CLick Here for SOS ID tag

When things have gone awry for me I have been lucky to have Karen available with me, but I recently realized how little input a person can have when they are really in a bad way.......not to mention unconscious. I have been in situations where even coscious it was damn near impossible to get out my name, let alone vital info needed. Without Karen I would have had to rely on something other than myself.......hence the Medic Alert Tag.

Personal plea........If you have any type of medical condition that a doctor or EMT should be aware of, please get yourself an appropriate Medical Alert tag of some sort. Wallet cards and key tags are about useless as you may not have them at all times. Whatever you wear should be with you all the time which is why the necklace and bracelet styles are popular. I like mine as it has room for all the assorted crappola needed and my history reads like a CTD candidate although I am doing great now. I want to stay that way and the tag gives me a sense of some security, very reassuring. Don't allow personal pride to keep you from doing what you should for yourself and your family. Because you have some minor condition, don't let it explode to a bigger one because you've failed to mention it.

Just a thought.
