Medical Alert Jewelry Bracelet
Is it harder for paramedics to do their job if a person wears medical I.D. jewelry that is not the standard?
I would like to know if paramedics/firefighters know that many people nowadays wear medical I.D. jewelry that does not have the standard chain and plate. If a person had what looks like regular jewelry on do paramedics/firefighters look closer at it to see if it has the medical alert symbol and is a medical alert I.D.? Like if a person had a medical I.D. bracelet only the bracelet had beads on it instead of a chain, would paramedics notice that this person has a medical I.D. bracelet on?
Let’s temporarily ignore whatever the local protocols are- whether they are supposed to check or not, and look at the human element.
Medical alert bracelets are only effective if they alert the medics.
The more atypical it is, the less effective it is. Sheer human nature- if the jewelery does not signal to the rescuer or medical staff that it is an alert of some sort, it fails its job.
The rescuers are busy- and the busier they are, the less time they give to peripheral issues like jewelery.
Sure, maybe someone at some point is SUPPOSED to check… but people are SUPPOSED to do a lot of things.
If *I* needed a medical alert for a life-threatening condition, I’d make sure that any would instantly see it. I’ve seen plenty that were attractive and still effective.
