Medical alert jewelry: No way!

Overcoming resistance to medical alert jewelry

Does the idea of wearing a medical ID bracelet make you uneasy? Do you find yourself procrastinating in selecting that medical alert pendant?

Something's bothering you - before you abandon the idea of getting a medical ID, try to figure out what. Perhaps you feel

	you don't need medical alert jewelry, or
	you don't want to advertise your medical condition, or
	you don't want to wear any jewelry all the time.

Emotion is as involved in the decision to wear medical jewelry as logic is. The point in understanding your reservations is not to dismiss them, but rather to decide whether they make sense - for you.

Begin with the belief that you don't need an emergency medical ID.
