A few weeks ago I had a minor accident and thankfully was able to tell medical staff of my allergy. It made me realize that had I not been able to communicate I could have been in real trouble. So I decided it was time to act, renew my membership and update my ID so that I can have that peace of mind.

A life-threatening accident led me to join Medic Alert after breaking my foot and experiencing anaphylactic shock during surgery due to anesthetic allergies. Thanks to my Medic Alert, medical professionals are now aware of my allergies, potentially saving my life in case of emergencies.
