[QUOTE="uncle, post: 613285, member: 123324"] As a card carrying first aider First thing you do when you come across someone unconscious is to try wake them up (at this point if not breathing do the old CPR) if breathing check for jewellery, that being medical alerts, so check neck and wrists, pat them down remove anything from pockets then put on recovery position. This works for 2 reasons 1 your are not rolling person on to something that might hurt them and 2 you may get info on illness I would look in wallet or bag for info on person and sod anyone thinking I was robbing them, call the police, I m not going anywhere until proper medical assistance arrives, when it does anything removed from person is handed over to them. Rather than worry about bystanders concern would be for person needing help I have a bracelet, an app on phone and a card in bag, although hopefully anyone looking in bag would find meter, insulin and hypo kit so would know what was wrong. Was going to get a tat on wrist but tattooist said no it would have to be bigger and sit above wrist as moving your hand affects healing of tat and can make tat look horrid as ink moves about (sometimes diabetes makes healing harder). So might go for a big tat from elbow to just above wrist. [/QUOTE]
