Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 I encourage all our members to make use of our Link Section. There you will find quite a bit of useful information: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/AFIBsupport/links If you click on the word " Merchandise " , you will find the Medical ID bracelet. BTW, personally I think it would be extremely interesting to know who and how many of us wear such a bracelet.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Lets say you are in a car accident. The fact that you might be on coumadin may be of interest. Also, the paramedic sees a reeaaallly strange rhythm. Should he shock you? Maybe give you something to try to stabilize it on the scene? Nah, he just read on your bracelet you have atrial fibrillation. That could be helpful to know if the patient is unconcious. Just a few thoughts.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Just wanted to let you know I have been wearing a bracelet for a year or so. I have written on mine that I use " Flecainide for Afib " and then I give my doctor's name and phone number. Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Hello all, Because I travel alot at home and in Europe, my cardiologist suggested to me to get medical ID, I looked on QVC, and got a medic- alert pendant, which I preferred over the bracelet. The pendant is a water tight very small compartment, with a paper inside with space for name, address, medications, emergency contacts, etc. I exchanged the chain for a 30' chain and it fits very nicely under my clothing. I admit, I don't wear it all the time when at home, but I do wear it when traveling. Just another idea, and it can't hurt. Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
