Ok, I confess I'm not an EMT, but wait don't leave I really need your advice cause no one else will give me a straight answer. I live in NYC and I was told I have to wear a Medical ID forever . If you want the boring story, I'll post it. However, all I want to know is how can you tell a Medical ID from regular jewlery and would you think something like this could be a Medical ID Bracelt? Thanks so much for your opinion and please forgive my white lie Ok here's my boring story: I wasn't feeling well for a while, but couldn't pinpoint it. I live alone and one morning I woke up and couldn't walk. My stepfather drove 2 hours to take me to a doctor cause I didn't want to call 911 I have before and they weren't cool Anyways, doctor rushed me to the hospitial. I had 2 DVTs in each leg and 2 PEs. I spent a month in the hospitial but only remember flashes and clips just like in a movie. I had 3 blood transfusions but I never bleed from anywhere. They were stupped by that one. I had clot busters and 2 surgeries one being a fashiotomy for compartment syndome and it was close I almost lost my leg. I even flatlined 2 seperate times. Anyways, I now know who cares about me, My parents took care of me because the hospitial wouldn't even change my dressings (my mom actually had to go out to Duane Reade for guaze and stuff and she has no professionial experience). If I had any money I hire a lawyer, but I'm in major debt and on disability so that's the way the cookie crumbles.
