We do many things to make ourselves and our loved ones as healthy and safe as possible. Whether we travel a lot, stay at home a lot or just occasionally venture out, we all opt to do it safely. Wearing a medical bracelet can provide numerous benefits – many you might never have thought of.
So here are 5 reasons to wear a Medical Bracelet:
1. Prevention of a Medical Error
Doctors and nurses are not perfect and if they do not know your conditions, prescribing incorrect medication could occur.
2. EMTs can be alerted
Emergency medical technicians are just that, In Case of an Emergency so they need to know right away what your issues might be. Knowing your ongoing conditions can help them determine what treatments can be administered and just as importantly which ones cannot. Allergies, implants, conditions, prescriptions can all be great information for an EMT.
3. Diagnosis of a Problem
Wearing a medical ID Bracelet makes the diagnosis that much faster and takes the guess work out of it.
4. To give Peace of Mind
There’s no price you can put on “peace of mind”. There’s great comfort in knowing your loved ones have their conditions on their wrist if something happens. And an I.C.O.E. Bracelet lets you put emergency contact numbers on the wrist of your loved ones so you’ll be called should they get lost or something happen to them.
5. To Save your Life
And the biggest reason to wear a medical id is because IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE! Giving medical people a quick read on your conditions, prescriptions and allergies can be time saving and life saving.
So make certain your loved ones have a medical bracelet and give yourself some peace of mind.
