Medical Alert -
Medic ID's
Medical IDs save lives!
One day, a medical alert bracelet may save your life.
It is important to have something on your person at all times that might
let others know you have special medical needs. A medic ID bracelet,
necklace, or ankle bracelet is a good way to identify medical conditions. Children can also wear the jewelry and you can even
mark their stroller or car seat with some type of alert.
In a medical emergency, first responder personnel need to know our medical situation, what specific medical conditions we may have, what medications you take or reactions and allergies to drugs they might administer. Alerting emergency personnel to your special needs is critical to make certain you get proper care without unnecessary delay.
The medical alert jewelry should be worn at all times. Emergency
medical teams are trained to look for it during an accident. It can be
engraved with your your medical conditions or a telephone number.
A Medical ID can reduce unnecessary hospital admissions and prevent minor
events from becoming major emergencies.
