Medical Alert Wallet Cards, Can Save Your Life!

Miami Beach 4/3/05 - Consider this, you and your spouse have a car accident and you both are transported to the hospital. Perhaps you are separated.

     Now you are in the emergency ward of some hospital. The doctors must take action immediately in order to either save your life or administer medical drugs. Yet no person is available to give them your medical background information.

      Yet what if in your wallet they discover your medical insurance card, along with a simple list of your personal history. They find that you are allergic to certain drugs, or have contact lenses, or dental bridges, or you have hemophilia, or HIV, or a pace maker, etc. etc. Would not any of this information save them time in treating you?

      What is the old expression, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"?

      One does not need to go off the wall with creating or buying extensive or expensive information cards. If you just typed out basic information and folder it up placed in a window of your wallet, your attending physician may have enough information to save your life.

     Attached is a link to give you some ideas of how simple and how easy it would be to log your medical alert.
