Reply to "k pouchers: do you wear a Medic Alert bracelet and what does it cite?"

I have a medic alert bracelet. The doctor advised me to get one. When I contacted Medic Alert, they asked me the conditions I have. With reference to the K pouch it says Koch pouch, needs cath. It also includes my another condition and my med allergy. I also have all my info on my phone on an app called care zone.  I also have a summary of all my conditions on a reg size paper that when I went to the ER I just gave them the paper. Unfortunately that didn't go as smoothly as I anticipated. When the nurse asked me questions to put in the computer, I gave him the paper and he handed it back to me than asked me the next question. Until I finally told him, just keep the paper. Then he kept it until he was finished inputting the information. When the doctor came in he said I was officially the first patient he had that was so well organized. But I'm not sure ER doctors would look/think to look on someone's phone esp if it was an emergency. So the medic alert bracelet would be handy, I think.
