Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Last week I visited my local emergency room with pain and a low-grade fever. My white blood count was elevated, but pain was my greatest problem. Now that the pain meds and cipro have done their magic, I'm realizing that I need to make some preparations. I couldn't remember all of the medications I take or their doses, and even if I could, the hospital had no record of such drugs (like urso) in their computer. Nobody in the hospital had heard of PSC. I was in one of Seattle's best hospitals, and left pretty frustrated (my hepatologist recently left the University Transplant Center and went into private practice; I followed him). 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?
