[QUOTE="picklebean, post: 518274, member: 38236"] 1. If you have been told that a medical alert device would be a good idea but you choose not to wear one, then why? I do wear one - a medic alert metal bracelet that never comes off for anything. 2. Have you ever felt concerned that you are broadcasting a medical condition to people you do not know? No I have never felt concerned. I don't feel it's anything that I need to hide. For me there is no reason I wouldn't want someone to know. 3. Have you ever felt stigmatised or bullied by other people for wearing such a device? No, never. :happy: [/QUOTE]
