Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I noticed there are different companies offering the service. Which is the best? Which gives you a free year? Thanks, Cheri Re: Isocort and the police visit.......... OH , I will check it out, do you think they operate in the UK? thanks. Mo > > O Mo, Medic Alert will *give* you and him the basic bracelet. They even gave me a scholorship one year when I didn't have money for the membership. It's worth a try, for you and your dear son's life. > > .

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hi Cheri, I may have spoken out of turn. The NIH paid for my first year. But several years later I couldn't afford the membership dues and the Medic Alert Organization paid them for me that year. Medic Alert is the one that is recognised world wide. You might ask for the basic membership and a card to carry with until you can get a bracelet, necklace, etc. ----- Original Message ----- From: MsSquarepants Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2008 3:08 PM I noticed there are different companies offering the service.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I checked out their website but am a bit overwhelmed. I noticed it is about $40 the first yr, $25 after that. However, the bracelets are really expensive. If you pay $80 for a bracelet, does that include the yearly membership too? Cheri -----Original Message----- Hi Cheri, I may have spoken out of turn.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Yes, I believe so. The $40.00 for the first year includes the basic bracelet, IIRC. I wish I could help more. I paid $15 the first year, then $20.00 after a few years and two years ago it went to $25. It is an invaluable service to have. They notify your next of kin and have you med records, docs phone numbers to tell ER personnel. I have way more than will fit on the brecelet. Why don't you give them a call and see what the can offer to you. I think their wesite is a tad hard to navigate but they are there now, I called to ask about the UK. ----- Original Message ----- From: MsSquarepants Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2008 5:00 PM I checked out their website but am a bit overwhelmed.
