I wear one.  It was a suggestion of an Emergency Room doctor.  A few years
ago I passed out and was taken to an emergency room in another state.  I
was awake by the time I got there and able to tell them about my thyroid
problems, but the doctor suggested it wouldn't be a bad idea if I got one.
Mine simply says "I Take Thyroid".
