I have a Medic Alert Bracelet that I got from the Medic Alert Foundation. There is a special ID number on the bracelet, as well as a phone number that can be called 24/7 by health care professionals in emergency situations. Under my ID number, my medical conditions/ info, medications, up to 5 emergency contacts (including MDs), health insurance info, and other stuff (organ donor, advance directives, etc) can be accessed by medical personnel. I purchased the bracelet from Medic Alert -- they sell necklaces, watches, other jewelry, etc -- and pay an annual membership fee. I was in a car accident several months back and the hospital had all my medical info before I was able to tell them, because of my Medic Alert bracelet! I would look into it!
Be well,
Jen
