You don't need medical alert jewelry

Perhaps not, but consider:

	One in every four people has a medical condition that should be known.
	The 8th largest killer in the United States is "medical mistakes."
	The 4th largest killer in the U.S. is "adverse reactions to prescription drugs."

Why take chances with your health? Medical ID tags can provide vital information on pre-existing medical conditions, prescribed medicines, drug and food allergies, physician and emergency contacts or other special needs.

In an emergency, when you might be unconscious or disoriented and unable to speak for yourself, a medical alert bracelet or necklace can communicate your vital medical information. Eliminating mistakes due to ignorance of your medical needs. And avoiding delays, when time is critical.

So people with existing medical conditions need medical alert jewelry. But others can also benefit from a medical ID's ability to inform medical personnel in an emergency, including:

	workers in high risk professions
	participants in extreme sports
	travelers
	the elderly
	health enthusiasts
	parents and children

The information on a medical ID may never be needed. But there is peace of mind - for your family and friends, as well as you - in your having the protection of medical alert jewelry, just in case.
