There's an ongoing thread about this on one of the motorcycle boards I'm on, and the consensus from several EMTs is that they do not look for this stuff. At all. They will stabilize you and get you to a hospital is all. I think you do want it when you get to the hospital, though. They will need a next of kin (or medical POA) to make decisions, drug allergy info, and an insurance #.
I wonder if paramedics look for this stuff (versus EMTs). Because I have serious drug allergies and if a paramedic gives me any of these drugs it can kill me (and these are fairly common drugs, too). EMTs, on the other hand, can't administer drugs. So, I would hope paramedics look for these.
