Why are medical IDs critical?
Perhaps your doctor, nurse or pharmacist advised you to obtain and always wear a medical ID.
Why is it important?
- In an emergency, when you might not be able to speak for yourself, a medical ID bracelet or necklace speaks for you.
- Symptoms of common ailments can easily be misdiagnosed. Prompt diagnosis is critical to effective treatment. A brief
description of vital medical facts engraved on your medical ID ensures appropriate and timely medical care.
- According to a published study, half of all medical errors occur because of mistakes made upon admission or discharge from the hospital.
Wearing a medical ID protects against potentially harmful medical errors.
- More than 95 percent of emergency responders look for a medical ID; more than 75 percent check for a medical
ID immediately upon assessing the patient. If you're wearing a medical ID, it won't be missed.
- Medical IDs can eliminate trips to the hospital, reduce unnecessary hospital admissions and prevent minor emergencies from becoming major ones.
Medical IDs save lives! One day, a medical ID may save you.
Who should wear a medical ID?
If you have ongoing medical conditions, drug or food allergies, or are taking multiple medicines,
you should wear a medical ID alert. An engraved medical ID bracelet or necklace presenting
a concise overview of your conditions, allergies and medicines will alert a doctor or medic
before starting treatment. Informing medical personnel about your unique medical conditions
and needs will greatly aid pre-hospital care.
