[QUOTE="Nyxks, post: 604531, member: 116204"] I wear a Medic Alert bracelet [url]http://medicalert.ca[/url] been wearing one since I was 3 years of age - so never known life without it on my wrist. My wife I got her one as well for hir Birthday (After we got married) its saved hir life a few times since then (in the past 7 years) the EMTs and hospital staff have said that it is a life saver and they wish more people would get them (only issue with them is that they are not cheap and now their enrolment program for the ID - just makes me shake my head, since i was grandfathered into the system and I don't have to pay a yearly fee less I choose to do so - which I see no reason to do so).
