Medical alert bracelets

[Pappy]

Wondering how many wear an alert bracelet or something worn as a necklace. The shot of mine is a alert that I take Xarelto, a blood thinner. I showed it to my doctor and he thought it was a good idea. I didn't think it would be this large, but this shows the red spots that this thinner causes. Big, ugly red bruises are very common too. Still, better than a stroke.

I think it would be good if the fitness trackers tapped into the market too. I wear a FitBit Flex daily. They should have an option to put in ID and medical information. Of course the police and EMS would have to know what to look for and how to read the information out of it. I don't carry ID very often. If I fell over walking the dogs somebody might be brave enough to check their tags. Otherwise it's scary, nobody would know who you were or what meds you take.
