I need a good bracelet to wear that has clear, very visible health & ID information in case I should fall. The only thing I wear is a kind of rubber bracelet that I got from the heart department of a hospital where I go & it tends to ride up on my arm. (My fear is that should I fall it wouldn't be very visible and I'm on anticoagulants.) Any suggestions on a reliable online place to purchase this? Thanks so much.
Emergency contact
Your hospital and your Doctor's number
Any allergies
Any chronic condition (for me that is atrial fib)
Any medications you take.
When you go down in the street and are unable to communicate with medical personnel the first thing they go to is your wallet, your ID. If you have that printed out they can access your medical file easily and your emergency contact.
If you live alone and have pets it is important that information be on this card as well.
As a lifelong RN who sometimes floated to the ER I can tell you information people give us on a simple small card in their wall is MARVELOUS to have. As you can imagine, finding me down in the street medical personnel in ambulance cannot know if I have CHRONIC atrial fib, which I have had for decades, or if this is a new condition, and one that just took me down.
As to bracelets, I don't see them much anymore, and am uncertain where medical bracelets can be found. You might check with your MD office.
You could also have one custom made by a person who makes jewelry.
They are reasonable, many styles and will inscribe also.
