<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I replied privately to the original person who brought this up, but I wanted to say that I wear a MedicAlert bracelet because I am allergic to penicillin, sulfa, and all their derivatives. Ever since I got this bracelet (which I have never removed!) I have felt quite secure. The last time I was in the hospital (for a c-section) the nurse did look at the bracelet. I always felt vaguely uneasy before I had the bracelet, in case I were to be in an accident, etc., but now I feel very safe. Having a message in your wallet is useless because you can easily be separated from it. I have heard ambulance drivers talk about this and how important the bracelet or necklace is. In fact, now that you have mentioned it in relation to CD, I will probably get one for my son (if his diagnosis comes back positive).
