Thumbs up Re ID Tag

Hi Sarah- and this is Great point to truly make in the sticky thread Rae started up top of the page there! I'll add this to it.

Upon your surgery having occurred, both your SCS manufacturer and your surgeon's office should offer to and issue to you identification cards, much like a plastic credit card. If kept on your person/in your wallet, purse, or other convenient carrying place for your Identification and together with your identification and any insurance card you may have MOST ANY credible care giver/first responder to you in case of your incapacity would search for your identification/insurance/SCS warning card and find them together.

In my case I received multiples of the cards so my wife carries for me as well in case she has to demonstrate to a caregiver that I am SCS equipped.

Now, no one has suggested having an I.D. bracelet or locket made to further I.D. me on this point, but I feel comfortable for the time being with this.

Thanks for the good question!
