Re: **Debbie Foley** Medical IDs

[Guest guest]

In order to protect myself and

prevent further such experiences, what would you suggest I do?

I've been looking into setting up a Medic

Alert account. Have any of you done that with success? If so, what would you recommend I have written on the

bracelet? I have an allergy

in addition to my stage 2 PSC. Are there other or

better emergency alert systems anyone can recommend?

I sure hope this

works. If it doesn’t, please write

me at barbhenshaw@...

and I’ll email it to you (or any one else who wants it) privately. I’ve made a Medical ID Card my son

can carry in his wallet. It lists

all of his personal info (address, phone, Insurance) who to contact in an

Emergency, doctor’s names & phone #’s - a short list of Conditions/History of

his medical problems, allergies, and all of his meds. Plus a sentence giving

anyone permission to treat him. I brought “card stock” at Wal

Mart and printed it on my home computer. It folds in half and fits in his

wallet. It lists –

everything!

Whenever his meds

change it takes me one minute to type in the change and print

a new one for him. I’ve

attached it to this email, and I think you can just change it to your name and

info (it’s in Word.) I keep

it on my desk top, so I can find it in 2 seconds. Like I said I’m not sure if you

can read attachments in group, so write to me if it doesn’t come through.

I think it will answer any concerns

you might have about ER rooms needing info and the best thing? It’s really cheap!!

Barb,

I wanted to say thanks, too! I made myself a copy and am giving one to my

parents and sister to keep in their wallets too in case I'm ever with them and

don't have mine with me. Do you mind if I post it on the PSC Facebook site for

our PSCers there?

Thanks so much for sharing!

It makes a lot more sense than a small bracelet if there is a lot of info needed or need to be able to change info and a lot cheaper.

In order to protect myself and prevent further such experiences, what would you suggest I do? I've been looking into setting up a Medic

Alert account. Have any of you done that with success? If so, what would you recommend I have written on the bracelet? I have an allergy in addition to my stage 2 PSC. Are there other or better emergency alert systems anyone can recommend?
