Excellent points by all!!!

Margo is right about kids too, not just our Special Needs kids, but any child with any kind of medical condition that might affect emergency treatment.

My friend Wayne was an EMT/Paramedic for 25 years and he says emergency medicine folks are all trained to search first for such info.

My dog has an implant that is read by a bar code reader and it's a good idea for the future, but all ER responders would need the correct equipment. I wouldn't mind seeing it happen though.............I suppose it's a bit too Orwellian for some, but...........
