What is Medical Alert Bracelet?
Sometimes it’s really important for emergency care workers to know if a person they are treating has health conditions or certain allergies. People who are alone and unconscious obviously can’t answers questions about medical status, and treatment given might be different or not appropriate given medical status. For instance, say you’re allergic to penicillin and a doctor decides to treat you for infection with it. You automatically risk anaphylactic shock, which may complicate recovery and be very dangerous. For reasons like these, people wear a medical alert bracelet.
