| Medical ID Bracelets could save your LIFE |  |
Everyone with a medical condition or allergy should have a medical
id alert bracelet. There are many places that you can find a wide
variety of medical alert jewelry styles, especially on the internet.
Most are custom-engraved, stainless steel medical ID bracelets or
necklaces. Each one should be able to hold between four to six lines
of medical information (for a variety of conditions, diseases,
allergies) and engraved in red so the information is easy to read by
emergency personnel.
Over 60 million Americans have a medical condition, which should be
immediately known to Emergency Personnel. Diabetes, Alzheimer's
symptoms and care, transplant surgery, mentally disabled, Patient's
currently on Blood Thinners such as Coumadin, coronary heart
disease, epilepsy, child safety, childhood asthma, Asthma allergy,
individuals that are HIV positive or that have hepatitis, heart
disease patients and cancer patients, children should have one for
identification purposes, people who have drug allergies such as
penicillin, codeine, antibiotics, bee stings or any other
medications.
Medical id alert bracelets are designed to be noticed by trained
personnel. Wear them for yourself and for your family and loved
ones, with this valuable information your emergency worker will
already be ahead of the game. Remember your medical id alert
bracelet speaks when you can not!
Children especially should have the proper medical information on
them at all times, (child safety) especially if they have a serious
condition or drug allergy. Asthma allergy, Diabetes, Bee Sting
Allergy, Hearing Impaired, or any other condition that medical
personnel should know about when you can not be with your child.
Children are active and we love to see them enjoy life and the
happiness the can bring to others, so when you can not be there to
give this vitally important information be sure their medical id
alert bracelet can! Update the information as needed, the price of a
new one is only a small price when weighed against the alternative.
Also have multiple types, such as: Bracelet and Wallet card or both
a bracelet and a necklace if active in sports when a necklace could
cause injury.
We do hope this site has provided valuable insight into Medical
alert jewelry and that if you do not have one yet, you will get one
NOW!
My wife and I decided to publish this article because of the large
number of children that we deal with everyday in our pharmacy/clinic
setting. Many of these children have asthma allergies, medical
conditions; such as childhood or bronchial asthma, diabetes or
information that emergency personnel should know to effectively
treat them in case of an emergency and do not have proper medical id
on them. We hope that through this article we can raise the
awareness to the importance of medical id alert bracelets for
identification to everyone.
Please help us and tell your family, friends, and co-workers about
this important emergency product. You will probably be amazed at the
responses. Everything from "I haven't gotten around to ordering one
yet", to "my mother is with me at all times so she doesn't need
one." We have tried to give examples of situations in which a
medical id bracelet could play an important role, and some medical
conditions that are in serious need for proper identification in an
emergency. (such as Alzheimer's Care in our graying society)
It is easier to understand how medical id alert tags can help in an
emergency situation when explained by example. Therefore here are a
few real life situations to think about.
*When you are on vacation and not near your regular physician.
*Your family member (with Alzheimer's) is at a day program and you
are not with them. (Alzheimer's Care)
*Child with bee sting allergy is at park with friends and gets
stung.
*Sports oriented child with asthma. (Childhood Asthma Allergy
*Cerebral Palsy patient is rushed to hospital without caregiver.
*Diabetic child at camp passes out from high blood sugar.
*Child with severe food allergies spends the night with friends.
*In accident while traveling and you are without your medical
records.
*Coronary heart disease
*You or family member on blood thinners has another heart attack and
(emergency personnel need to know this so they do not to give too
much medication).
*Person with Epilepsy is around those who do not know the symptoms.
Mentally challenged loved one who is not able to be with you 24
hours a day.
DNR wishes
*Shunts for dialysis patients, warn of incapability of blood
pressure/injections in that arm.
*Who to contact for you if needed in any emergency situation and you
are away from home.
Think about it, how would anyone know what medical
conditions/allergies you have to begin to treat you. With proper
medical id medical personnel have a head start, while you and your
family know that you have a better chance now that you wear your
medical id.
Hopefully now your are ready to get your Medical ID alert bracelet.
