Guest guest Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Hi Laurie, I had all my information available for the ambulance personnel and I am so thankful that I took the time to type it all up. I did what you have done and I am sure happy that i did because that night I really needed it. I added my protocol to my package. I remember this subject coming up on this list not too long ago and I suggested putting one in your glove compartment b/c that is where the EMT's will look for information or for who to contact in case of an emergency if you are involved in a car accident or a medical emergency happens while you are in your car. I remember you suggesting putting one on your fridge, which I did and thank you for that suggestion. I do have some additions to make and I never did make one up for my purse. I guess it is time I do that now. I think this is something we all tend to put off, thinking " I will never be in that type of situation where I can't communicate with people " or " I will remember all my medical information " But we don't remember everything, especially when you are in pain and out of it. Luckily my husband was home at the time and with me. I don't know if our Ambulance service has emergency forms to fill out like you have but I am going to check and if so I will add that to my medical information. Thanks for the tip!!
