It bewilders the mind that the ER staff would not take your written information. The nurse did take my written information I had but wouldn't keep it until I told him to keep it. Then he did until he finished inputted all the information. But he did take it. And when he gave the paper back, I gave it to the doctor who used the information to call the K pouch surgeon.
I searched under medic alert and all the alert apps for medical purposes came up including Care Zone plus a number of others.
I hope you find one that fits your needs and is helpful to you. My best to you and Happy New Year to one and all.
Yep, that is the main function for the Medic Alert> as in being unconscious and taken in to the ER or worked on in the field. I have not had a new one but now I have a reliable surgeon that is not only proactive but knows how and what to say. But we are living in this different world it seems and even being conscious I have had ER doctors ignore my plead to consult him in a crisis. Now today I just hope they would look at my Medic Alert Bracelet or necklace. I am planning on getting one soon. I know that it is just a fact that we need more doctors and nurses to know that we exist and that is not the case in a lot of areas. I suppose I will have to shop this out and see what the best company is these days. 2018 and a new year for us all.
