Medical bracelets are more than just a simple bracelet that you
wear on your wrist, they are critical life savers in times of emergency.
If you are in an emergency situation your medical identification
bracelet will let the medics wearing Dickies medical uniforms know the
best way to treat you. The information on that tiny bracelet could save
your life, should the unexpected happen.
Your bracelet will be engraved with the necessary information to ensure that it never washes away. The information listed on the bracelet will include things like your allergies, any medical condition, medications you are taking and anything else that might be pertinent in such a situation. In case of a real emergency you might not be able to talk for yourself. You could be unconscious or simply unable to think reasonably to explain everything correctly. There are many conditions that could be misdiagnosed resulting in a delay of the right treatment. If the metroscrubs wearing medics arriving on the scene are able to read your bracelet, they will then be able to treat you immediately saving precious time. Depending on the degree of the emergency, it might even save you a trip to the hospital.
It is recommended if you have certain medical conditions that you get one of these bracelets. In general, if you have drug or food allergies, are taking any medications or have a medical condition worth noting, you should get one of these bracelets. There are many different medical conditions that would require an identification bracelet, so this is just a sampling to give you a good idea: diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer's, anemia, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, or any allergy to peanuts, penicillin or bee stings. This is just a short list of conditions that require a bracelet. If you are unsure if you fall into this category, consult your Grey's Anatomy scrubs wearing doctor for his recommendation. It might even be one of the first things your doctor says to you after your condition has been diagnosed.
Besides providing medical information to the medics treating you at the scene of a medical emergency, the identification bracelets are also great for other purposes. If you have a do not resuscitate order or are an organ donor, this information can be placed on your bracelet so the medics respond according to your wishes. If you are traveling and are away from your regular doctors, it will provide a new doctor a quick update on your condition.
