Medic Alert Bracelets are just another expense.
I've had mine for over 2 decades, and in all the times
I had seizures, they never looked at it, or called the
1-800 number to get medical information.
What's the point of even having one?
If you're awake, they'll ask for your name, medications you're on, allergies
etc.
If you're not awake, they'll take you to the hospital and ask you later.
Being unable to speak after a seizure, I found out what stuff they need to
know, and put it all on the back of my pill box (size of a cell phone) for
next time. From then on, I heard them comment on it, saying they wished
other people would do that.
But they never used my Medic Alert Bracelet.
