Medical alert bracelets

Medical Alert Bracelets @ Unbreakable Journey

by Amanda

I never wear a medical alert bracelet. Medical ID bracelets never seem to go with my outfit or my mood and just seem obnoxious sometimes. ( OIF, 2010 ) It is our hope that this blog will become a resource for individuals with (OI), a place of inspiration, acknowledgement and hope. Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder characterized by fragile bones that break easily. The Unbreakable Journey is a website devoted to those who live everyday with Osteogenisis Imperfecta (OI) and to those who wish to learn more about this disorder. I own at least three, but never wear them. Well, I did sometimes where those during my other life as a recruiter when I was really far from home and it gave my family some sense of security. Not to mention having to explain why you wear one and are greeted with blank faces.

Medical tattoos offer important health information

21.05.12

Tattoos have long served as fashion statements, but a small number of Americans are now relying on them for a more practical, potentially lifesaving purpose: to warn first responders about important medical conditions.

Some medical tattoos are being used to take the place of bracelets that commonly list a person's allergies, chronic diseases or even end-of-life wishes.

"Bracelets are nice, but something as strong as a tattoo ... that is a strong statement," said Dr. Ed Friedlander, a Kansas City pathologist who has "No CPR" tattooed in the center of his chest, where a paramedic would see it.

Friedlander, 60, got the tattoo to emphasize his decision to forgo CPR if his heart stops.

Medical tattoos don't appear to carry much legal weight. It's unclear whether an ambulance crew racing to treat a gravely ill patient could honor a request such as Friedlander's based on the tattoo alone.

But the markings do offer a simple and permanent way to give rescuers important health details.
