Medical Bracelet~

Hello all,
  Im in the process of ordering a medical bracelet.... I just need to know excatly what to put on it!
i saw a example of one...
that stated no tubes and NO SIAD? ( or something like that)

Can you give me some pointers so i know excatly what to order...

thanks so much

Mandy =)

Hi Mandy,

I got Tina Fisher (from PMRI) to help me out with my wording. Here's what she suggested (and I did)...

First Line:  Gastic Band No ASA
Second Line: No NSAID, No NGT
Third Line: Dr. Peters   (302) 892-9900

I think I probably should have put my name on it, too, in case I'm caught without my license in an emergency situation.

The No ASA is No Aspirin.
The No NSAID is No NSAIDs, like Motrin, Aleve, etc. (from what I understand).
The No NGT is No Nasal Gastric Tubes.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

See ya soon,
Leslie

HI LES,
  Well i put in a call to the office! (hehe)

 

And Misty told me to put

surgery type

NO NG TUBES/NONSAIDS/ASPRIN/SUGAR

DR.NAme and Phone.

so thats what i put... was is ASA???

ASA is acetylsalicylic acid, which is aspirin.

Thanks Mike ;-)

Mine is 4 lines:

Gastric Bypass
No NG Tube/Sugar
No NSAIDS/Asprin
CHRIAS 302-992-9900


I have a necklace and a bracelet.
How's it going Mandy? How do you feel?? ((HUGS)) Elissa

I tried the bracelets...can't wear them.  Always in the way and distract me because I amot used to wearing them.  Went to a jeweler and ordered a gold medical alert emblem...got blisters and a rash from that.  Had my medical alert tatooed right to the center of my chest.  Its the red medical cross and underneath it says:
Heart
Taking Plavix
Gastric Bypass
No blind NG tube.

I didn't have No NSAIDS tattooed because the benefit of short term use of NSAIDS like in an emergency/trauma has benefits that far outweigh the risk of it's use, short term.

Often in trauma, NG tubes are necessary.  They can be used on us but medical professionals must use an endoscope to place it, hence the "NO BLIND NG TUBE"
