Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Hi Danny, There are lots of options. My favorite is www.laurenshope.com but I honestly don't know if they have men's jewelry. Check out their web site. Also try www.americanmedical-id.com/ or www.n-styleid.com/medical_id_jewelry.htm (then click on Products) or www.medicalalertidbracelet.com or www.medicid.com or http://www.911med411.com/index.html I have also heard that pharmacies (such as Walgreen's) offer cheapie imitations of Medic Alert bracelets that you can order by mail. Their web site only mentions a diabetic bracelet, so you might want to check it out with your local store (I've seen the brochures at the pharmacy). Let us know if you find anything interesting! Laurie W. Alert bracelet Greetings everyone. Does anyone know where to get a bracelet other than the one that Medic Alert has? I really don't want to have to join something on a yearly basis in order to get a bracelet.Danny Monge4/12/04 Dr. ParkRichmond, Ca. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 You can get a regular medic alet bracelet and not renew the annual subscription. I am a paramedic and the important thing is to wear the bracelet.. A hospital rarely calls medic alert for more info. One other thing you might consider is a program that is just starting to become widespread is " Vial of life " this is where you take an old prescription medicine bottle and put inside it a paper with your medical history and list of medications and put it in your refrigerator and put a note on the fridge stating (VIAL OF LIFE FOR EMS INSIDE) this may not be adopted yet in your area. but is still a good idea and will be nationwide soon.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 That is a really good idea, Jim. I like the Vial For Life idea! Especially for seniors, who often get confused (and often live alone). I used to work in the E.R., and I agree - hospitals rarely (in fact, I've never seen it even once) call Medic Alert for information. The bracelet usually tells us what we need to know. Laurie W.
