The Logistics of 911 Calls and Medical Emergencies
Friday, January 27, 2012
Optimally handling medical emergencies involves more than just knowing first aide. Having vital information organized and ready to hand to EMS staff can greatly speed care. That information should include medical conditions, medications, supplements, allergies, special diets, and the names and phone numbers of doctors, caretakers, and family to be contacted. It is helpful to include a copy of insurance cards, healthcare power of attorney forms, any DNR requests. If you have a very unusual condition, include information about the condition. Some people even include copies of recent lab tests, EKGs, etc. EMS staff cannot use information from a USB flash drive, for fear it might give their computers a virus. Services that have medical data stored, however, can be very helpful. Anti-Aging Psychologist interviewed Rod Brouhard on Ageless Lifestyles®.
