Re: emergency's and phone numbers

When I had my Liver Transplant at Baylor/Dallas we

were told we had to buy a Medic Alert Bracelet, Pendant

or Watch Band. You can order them online. Medic Alert

also gives you a wallet card with important info. One

may change what Medic Alert will tell, such as a change

in Meds or Doctors at no charge. You can do it online.

I have only had mine off in 13 1/2 yrs when I had an

MRI.

emergency's and phone numbers

a friend sent this to me and it is a wonderful idea. A first respondercame up with it. If you have a cell phone list a number in it underthe name ICE. stands for (information contact in emergency) That wayif you have an accident, seizure or anything that makes you un-able tospeak for yourself a first responder who sees a cell phone is trainedto look for that name in it instead of scrolling thru names and tryingto find a relative. The first responder then dials ICE and speaks towhomever you want to be in charge in case you cannot speak for your self.

I did that! I also printed out a page with my identifying info

including medical conditions etc and took a picture of it with my cell

phone. Then set the pic as my wallpaper. So if in an emergency they

open my cell phone the first thing they see is to not give me sulfa

and do give me lots of albuterol and oxygen! LOL
