Millie,
How often has MedicAlert been contacted? You can find out by calling them via the phone number on it. Write/copy down the number that ID's you, tell them it isn't an emergency but you would like to know how many calls they've received since you've been using it. They don't just go back a few years, they tell you all or none.

Tim,
My Med alert is on my right wrist so it doesn't get mixed up with
my watch. With experiences you have had I would make it very
easy for them to find your dosage when you need your meds and
not have to search for it.
I found that when they go into my purse-- they leave it a mess.
It sure doesn't look like it did before they got into it.
