just a thought
Hi, everyone. Just a thought about an ounce of safety we all can add to our daily routine. For those of us that carry cell phones and PDA's, you know how they tell us to add an ICE number? (I.n C.ase of E.mergency) - where you put ICE in front of the number so if you are incapacitated officials will know to call that person first? How about
adding your medical info too? where you would list the name, try adding aaa (so that it always remains on top of the list) then space, and "DIAB-II non-insulin" or "type I" or "insulin". This will give them a head start on what you need to have in an emg. I know that we have the bracelets and necklaces for the same reason.But I know people who will not wear them, for whatever reason. What I have added to my PDA is "see RX listing" and then under RX I have my med list with the dosages in the notes instead of address, etc. More and more, first responders are met with the need for immediate information. This is just one way to help them out; even if you cannot speak for yourself at the moment.
