How MedIDs Can Save Lives
EMTs and other first responders are trained to look for MedIDs and other forms of emergency medical information.
It's important for them to know about conditions or histories that cause medical emergencies and those that impact treatment. For instance, if you are on multiple medications or have an implanted device, medical alert jewelry can help medical professionals tailor your treatment appropriately.
