I think that you're correct about it being an EMT/Paramedic icon. Years ago I read an article saying that the correct medical symbol/image is not the caduceus, but the staff of A______ . The latter (name?) is a staff with a single snake wrapped around it. Not 2 snakes with wings on top, like the caduceus.
I've seen handouts for bracelets/necklaces in doctors offices that are "generic", but I've never really looked into them.

> The Medic Alert telephone thing sounds like a good idea. I was trying for the cheapest alternative that didn't look totally hokey.
