Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 This is just an idea I got from reading about those of you that have a letter. I have had gastric bypass surgery. My doc gave me a laminated card that states that I have had gastric bypass surgery and it has his name and signature on it. It says not to intubate me blindly use an NG tube and I can also use it to show at certain resteraunts who offer discounts to gastric bypass patients. They should develop a card like that for those of us with CP. It should have the doc's name, what your condition is, how to treat you in case of emergency etc. Maybe I can talk to the docs at MUSC about that and see if they will develop one. I can design it if they would implement it. There is a website with the gastric bypass version so that people who don't have one from their own doc can go and print it out. I will have to mull this over! What do ya'll think? Angie in SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
