Medicalert Bracelet-Yes Or No?

Hi there, do any of you wear a MedicAlert bracelet after getting sleeved? I've heard that it's necessary to wear one so in the event of a medical emergency the EMT's won't intubate you and destroy your stomach.

Your opinions?

Wow, never thought about a charm to put on my already present charm bracelelt. I wear it all the time. Im wondering if any medical personnel would even think to look at my charm bracelet for medical info tho.

Its an idea???

May be a dumb question but why no oral steroids?

Not dumb... oral steroids can irritate the stomach...

And you can have an NGT, just not "blind" ones.

Now all that said, everything is a tradeoff, and if needed the medical team will do what is best for us. We just don't want to surprose them!!!
