Med Alert Tag - Do You Or Will You Wear One After Surgery?

I'm curious if anyone post surgery wears a medical alert bracelet or necklace to let EMTs and Emergency Room docs know not to blindly incubate? I've seen them online but, folks that have had the surgery at work aren't wearing them. Anyone's doctors recommend them?

    Hi, I know we put No NG Tube on our bracelets. But what do they use since they don't use the tube if something was to happen?
