Medical ID Jewelry
Recently, I visited the hospital to check on a sick friend who has diabetes Type 1. I noticed she had this nice silver bracelet on her wrist that has a logo and inscription on it. She saw me looking and showed the bracelet to me, explaining what it was. She said it was a medical identification tag. That was the first time I saw one actually.
In our world today, everything is hip and cool now, even medical id tags. They can now be worn on bracelets, watches, even pendants, bearing the wearer’s medical condition. They are used with the intention that wherever the patients go, physicians and medical personnel will know of their condition, especially if they are not capable of explaining their condition.
There is a wide variety of medical jewelry available out in the market today. And it’s a great and cool way to let other people be aware of a person’s condition, and it’s also an efficient way to get help fast. Just one look at the ID and physicians will know exactly what to do, no more explaining or questions needed. I think it’s really useful.
i agree with you sis. i hope people with certain illness would wear such medical id tags. i haven’t seen one yet. and it is indeed helpful. good for your friend with diabetes type 1 to wear one. making such condition an example - with regular administration of insulin in the body, there’s a risk of hypoglycemic episodes - at the mall, church, or resto - which can be life-threatening if not attended to immediately. with the medical id bracelet, people around the patient would know what might cause her weakness and diaphoresis. a lifesaver may be present - with a glass of orange juice or hard candy.
problem though, as you said, everything now is hip and cool. might sound pessimistic but possible. living in a country where imitation is such a growing trend… well, no need to say more.
