You don't want to wear any
jewelry - including medical alert jewelry - all the time
So don't.
You may not like jewelry. Or you
may love jewelry, but loathe the thought of wearing one
certain piece all the time. In either case, a little
ingenuity can have you enjoying the protection of medical
alert jewelry without the aggravation.
The medical watch solution
Do you already wear a watch when you go
out? Add a tag and your current watch can do
double-duty as medical alert jewelry. Or replace
your current watch with one designed to provide medical
alerts:
The medical ID tag solution
Do you automatically grab your keys when
headed out the door? If so, consider adding medical
alert ID to your key ring.
The versatile MedicTag is nicely shaped
for key ring use, as is the MedScope. Both keep
detailed medical information available, but hidden from
the casually curious.
Because medics are trained to check for medical
alert jewelry at pulse points, medical information on a
bracelet or necklace would likely be found faster than
information on a key ring. That's a disadvantage.
It's minor, however, compared to the disadvantage of not
having a medical ID to be found. Or having a medical
alert bracelet languishing unused in a drawer at home.
The multiple medical IDs solution
Do you like jewelry, but hate the
thought of wearing the same piece all the time? This
problem can be handily solved by getting several
medical IDs. That way, depending upon the occasion
and your mood, you can select what you wish to wear from
your "medical alert wardrobe."
Doubtless not the cheapest option, but a
fun one!
