HERMOSA BEACH, CA - October 27, 2006 - Many patients end up at the
hospital when they could have been treated before going to the
hospital if they had some sort of way to alert the paramedics or first
responders. A breakthrough product in the medical emergency field may
be able to reduce the number of people sent to a hospital - saving all
those involved time, money and resources.
Medical Alert Wallets (TM) has come up with a solution that will help
both patients and paramedics be prepared when a health emergency
arises. Anyone with a medical condition, allergies, or regularly-taken
medications can now carry a unique wallet with a recognizable "Medic
Alert" symbol. The wallet not only identifies the patient, but also
has a detailed list of the patient's current health condition,
prescription medicines they are taking, doctor contact information,
and allergies.
All Medical Alert Wallets (TM) include a free Medical Information Card
to list detailed medical information that will assist the emergency
medical worker in diagnosis and treatment when a health emergency
occurs.
"Medical Alert Wallets are a must for people in rehabilitation,
physical therapy, assisted living, and for people of all ages. After
rehabilitation and physical therapy, patients will still be taking
medications, and it is safer to carry one of our wallets on them, in
case of an emergency," states Thomas English, founder of
MedicalAlertWallets.com.
The "Medic Alert" symbol on the wallet is a common symbol that's
easily recognized by all emergency medical workers. When they see the
symbol, they will know immediately that the person's medical history,
allergies, and medications are detailed inside the wallet.
"If the patient's immediate health needs can be met by the paramedics,
the wallet will help reveal this as well as how to treat the patient.
Medical Alert Wallets equip the paramedics with what they need to save
lives or to prevent further medical complications," states English.
Many people are becoming aware of Medical Alert Wallets (TM) and are
finding out how useful they can be for someone with a health
condition. For example, one customer named Cindy asked for two Medical
Information Cards. With her severe health problems, she wanted her
husband to be able to carry a card about her condition as well. If an
emergency situation arose, he would not need to recall her medical
information from memory; it would already be on a Medical Information
Card he carries. So Medical Alert Wallets (TM) sent them a few for
each person, because medicines and medical conditions can change.
Cindy states, "When there have been true medical emergencies with me -
which there have been many - [my husband] loses all sense of important
information. Luckily, my daughter is usually with him to answer
important questions, but in case she is not there, this would help him
very much."
Those with serious health conditions such as heart disease, asthma,
high blood pressure, diabetes, and so forth feel more secure knowing
that the information is available to the emergency workers if they
suddenly find themselves in a serious situation.
"Sometimes patients are unconscious or unable to speak when the
paramedics arrive. Medical Alert Wallets are designed to speak for
them. Those who do strenuous or dangerous labor daily, or those who
exercise regularly should also carry the wallet as a precaution," says
English.
