Is there a standard procedure for medics to check for them and where do they look?

I had read about getting a medical id bracelet after surgery and read what it should say, etc. But, do the medics even check for them and if so, where should it be worn? And, if we are buying these pretty ones to disquise that they are even a medical id bracelet at all how will they even know it's one? Just wondering if it's really worth it to get one and if it will ever be used if something should happen. I really have no idea and wondered if anyone knew the procedure medics follow to check for them and do they scan your entire body to see if you have an ankle bracelet, neck chain, bracelet, charm, etc., really seems like a lot to have to look for in case of an emergency. Maybe I just watch too much tv? Any input would be appreciated, thanks!
