I have the actual Medic Alert brand service and a nice silver
bracelet for my diabetes - you can get a rhodium-plated version if
your skin tarnishes the silver quickly, or if you are rich (or hit
one of their sales), you can get rather nice gold ones. They have a
couple of sizes of medallion for both the necklaces and the
bracelets, and several styles of chain. Or you can get nice
necklaces, or "sport" ones suitable for your marathon days.
I've been quite satisfied - though I haven't actually had to use it
yet. My son wears a stainless steel bracelet because of his asthma,
allergies, and rods up his spine. I haven't bothered to get the USB
"key" with my info, but have got the extra service where they will
notify my family if something happens to me (just in case my cell
phone with the ICE numbers doesn't get found).
You can see their current specials at www.medicalert.org (or
www.medicalert.ca or www.medicalert.org.uk, depending on where you
are).

Hi,
I am needing to look at getting a medic alert bracelet. Does anyone
on the list have experience of these products and the associated
services? Are there alternatives? I would like to get something
that alerts the medical authorities if/when required but would be an
attractive piece of jewelry to everybody else - not much to ask,
surely?! Any views, opinions, personal experiences, etc would be
appreciated ...
Best wishes for the new year (it is still 2006 here even if most of
you have reached 2007 already :-) )
