The subject of allergies came up in a conversation with a pharmacy student. Not everyone wears Medical Alert bracelets. Some people have a key chain, some people have nothing to indicate their reaction to particular medications. She brought up the subject of cell phones as a source of emergency information. I checked with an EMT who said that if a person is unresponsive and alone the phone can become quite important. I looked at the settings on my own phone and discovered the variety of information that can be added and accessed, even on a locked device. Sharing what was new to me I only encountered one person who has her information complete on her phone. She was grateful for the reminder to update her prescription list, though. For many people, the simple addition of a contact person will be enough. For others, perhaps time will be saved or an unfortunate action avoided. I was pleased to be educating my peers and sharing something helpful. Often, I have that same feeling after a coaching session.
