It is easier to understand how medical alert id can help in an emergency situation when explained by example. Therefore here are a few real life situations to think about.

*When you are on vacation and not near your regular physician.

*Your family member (with Alzheimer's) is at a day program and you are not with them. (Alzheimers Care)

*Child with bee sting allergy is at park with friends and gets stung.

*Sports oriented child with asthma. (Childhood Asthma Allergy

*Cerebral Palsey patient is rushed to hospital without caregiver.

*Diabetic child at camp passes out from high blood sugar.

*Child with severe food allergies spends the night with friends.

*In accident while traveling and you are without your medical records.

*Coronary heart disease

*You or family member on blood thinners has another heart attack and (emergency personnel need to know this so they do not to give too much medication).

*Person with Epilepsy is around those who do not know the symptoms.

Mentally challenged loved one who is not able to be with you 24 hours a day.

DNR wishes

*Shunts for dialysis patients, warn of incapability of blood pressure/injections in that arm.

*Who to contact for you if needed in any emergency situation and you are away from home.

Think about it, how would anyone know what medical conditions/allergies you have to begin to treat you. With Medical Alert ID medical personel have a head start, while you and your family know that you have a better chance now that you wear your medical id.

Hopefully now your are ready to get your Medical Alert ID.
