> And, I sort of don't won't to wear a metal medic band, I don't want people asking me questions. Would it be all right to print up one of those things to put in your wallet. If I got one of those wallet cards what are my chances that someone will actually find it, in case of a emergency?

Better than zero, they do look in your personal effects, but if we want to get rather graphic, if they've been thrown from a vehicle or dumped by an agressor..... its doubtful a medical alert band will be stolen, I don't know, I'd rather not create any scenarios there actually, there's no point being too graphic.


And like I said, the silicone ones while prominent, some of them just say "look in wallet" (although if its gone its, gone). They don't look like metal ones, which can be a slight detraction, although they're usually medical colors -- they're like the Lance Armstrong bands.


I would say a wallet card is always good for anyone with a list of medications, legal tangles, or not.

But for certain specific things like, diabetes (insulin), MAOIs, etc, I think there's a good case for a bracelet -- like I said, the silicone ones aren't metal flashy -- that may be a plus or a minus, depending if you want an EMT to really notice.

Its your choice how you want to manage your life, and choices do make differences. I wasn't trying to scare you that you had to -- some people here have mentioned they do, some don't use them.

I haven't updated my wallet card recently, I should. Basically just print something out and use a laminator.

-- just a thought
