Medical ID
This is my medical ID. I have it in 2 forms that never leave my person. I never take off this necklace. Well not unless my baby niece, who likes eating it, is around! The reason I have a necklace is specifically so that I don’t have to take it off as my work in a hospital means I cannot wear a bracelet.
I also have a card (along with the necklace which are from Medicalert) which has a bit more detail on it. However, both include information on my epilepsy and allergies as well as a way to access my full medical history. These
are really helpful as they mean, if anything happens to me and I end up in an
accident, it’s much easier to access my medical history, this includes what
meds I take and what I’m allergic to. These things give me more confidence to
go out independently.
Trying to get me to wear my medical ID when I was little was
a palaver, I hated it! Thankfully, I’ve started to understand what it does for
me, so I feel much better about wearing it and appreciate the safety net it
provides me.
