Re: living will or instructions

[Guest guest]

I also heard that you should keep some kind of instructions in your wallet, or

in your glove compartment. So that if you were in an accident they would know

your wishes also.

Just a thought!

GET A LIVING WILL everybody

On that note, are living wills the same in all states? How about

other countries?

I have one on file at the hospital, one at home in a file marked

emergency info (but not on the door which is a good idea) and each of

my sons has a copy. I have a list of meds in my wallet and my medic

alert cards plus bracelet. You can put living will information with

medic alert as well.

that is the best idea yet about instructions. Your wallet or glove compartment

would be the first place emergency personnel would look.

Do you like medic alert? I have a necklace from walgreens but need to get it

changed as the address and phone on it are incorrect. Right now all I can fit

on it are no ringers lactate and Dr Tick and Dr Roth phone numbers.

I was just wondering if you like them or not.

I like my medic alert. Since it is hard to put much on the necklace

or bracelet (I have had a bracelet for years), I like being able to

have the phone number that can be called for additional

information. My name doesn't even have to be known for a

hospital to get what info they need.

There are some medical people who don''t know anything about

them. I had a lab tech on Sat ask me what it was. The ER people

seem to know about them and that you usually have a card in

your wallet. I have labinated the cards so the print doesn't get

rubbed off.

Shelby,

No, but close. My pcp is Dr Karla Roth and she is at Prevea clinic in Green

Bay. I found her in 1997 after the doctor I was with at the clinic refused to

work with Dr Tick in Milwaukee and had an arrogant attitude. She is

great--admits when she does not know something but also has a chemistry

background she says helps her understand the melas better.

Janet,

Isn't it nice to have someone who is willing to work with you? I've

run across quite a few arrogant doctors in trying to get help for .

We have a neurologist who is willing to work with us. is a tough

case.

Yes, She is great. When my insurance, TRICARE, did not have her listed on their

network this summer I paniked. Her group although it is a very big clinic in

Green Bay is not in network like the other big group. But, thankfully that just

means we pay 25% of the TRICARE approved amount instead of 20%. We do not have

to pay the whole bill and they do write off the amount of charges above the

TRICARE approved amount. This is good because the TRICARE approved amount

equals about the same as MEDICARE, very little.
