Nearly 18 years ago, I had a Cardiac Arrest outside the hospital and was without vital signs for 15 minutes. Thankfully, my husband and daughter-in-law, who had recently completed a First Aid Refresher Course, performed chest compressions until the arrival of St. Johns, who revived me with a shock. To ensure my safety, I promptly ordered a Medic Alert Bracelet, which has given me confidence in every activity I choose to do.

I joined MedicAlert due to Myasthenia Gravis, a rare condition causing symptoms that resemble intoxication. To manage it, my immune system has been turned off to prevent further complications.

My Medic Alert bracelet will alert medical staff to the existence of my AUS should I ever be admitted to hospital in an unconscious condition as a result of a medical event or accident.
