MEDICAL ID TAGS
What should I engrave on my Medical ID Tag?Select the most important medical information, in case you cannot speak for yourself. Having your medical condition(s) listed is important to alert Medical Emergency responders! You will be limited by the number of characters per line on the tag you have selected. Many choose to have their first name or full name and an "ICE" (In case of emergency) telephone number, rather than the medication taken, as that can change. You should also carry an Emergency Wallet Card that has the medicines you take, doctor's phone numbers & more listed.
This is a general guide, and these are only suggestions. Please consult your physician for the most critical information to put on your medical identification tag.
