Medical alert
jewelry: Choosing the right Medical ID
1: Your Medical Issues
No one type of medical alert jewelry is "best"
for all situations and purposes. To choose
wisely then, first consider why you are shopping for medical jewelry.
|
The more critical and urgent your
medical issues, the more important it is that your medical
jewelry be instantly recognizable. |
If your life depends upon this medical ID being found
and recognized, play it safe with a
traditional medical
bracelet or a pendant emblazoned with the universally
understood Caduceus medical symbol.
Less-pressing medical issues give you more leeway in
choosing. You could, for instance, select a
medical alert watch.
Or you might opt to replace the Caduceus symbol with a
non-medical ID symbol.
Once you have evaluated your need for medical alert
jewelry, consider your
personal taste & lifestyle.
