This is a reminder for all the newbies.
Now that you have survived surgery and are ready to tackle the world,
it's a really good idea to be wearing some kind of medical identification.
You don't necessarily need to sign up for ongoing membership,
but just wearing an engraved bracelet or necklet will alert doctors.
Whether I'm in a car accident, or passed out in the shower
,
paramedics can tell at a glance that I am anticoagulated with a mech valve.
With a phone call they will know what meds I am on, and who my doctors are.
There are many ID choices: sporty wristbands, right up to elegant gold jewellry.
I chose a sterling silver bracelet and I never take it off.
A card in your wallet or purse is sometimes not good enough, IMO.
