I carry Medi alert myself, But I have been told that they are
ignored by the medical proffesion (a thing which suprised me) Then if
the medics do not notice them what's the use of having them. When I
have been admitted to hospital in the past I have been able to show
the medallion off as I have been conscious. Lord knows what happens
if I'm admitted unconscious. Perhaps some medical person could supply
the answer. Is it part of medical training to watch out for such
things as Medic Alert jewelry or is the arrogance of some of the
health service with its doctor knows best attitude paramount.
