Don't forget to bring ID!

[shootingstar]

That is awful. But probably happens more often than we realize. _______________________________________________________________

Whenever I leave on the bike or go for a walk beyond 2 blocks, I carry ID, health card, credit card, and keys.

No matter how dinky the bike ride is, I carry all of the above with me. Always have when on bike.

Allow me to describe accident that happened to dearie 2 wks. ago, when he fell down after another cyclist collided into him ...only 6 blocks away from home.

Dearie was unconscious for probably at least half an hr. He has no memory of being bundled up into the ambulance ..which coincidentally there was an ambulance just sitting down the block from the accident. Maybe a break during the Olympics. Cyclist alerted the ambulance which packed up dearie AND his bike into the ambulance and whipped over hospital about less than 8-10 min. away.

I didn't know about this..until he came home. but the hospital offered him to phone me on his behalf. He refused. He said he didn't want "to worry me". He always carries his ID, etc. like I do. He has some accidents that have happened in the past.

Geez. You know, he was at the hospital, about a 20 min. bike ride away. I know, this is a different problem.

Grog, now that you have outfitted the 2 physicians in the family..... a sign that the most competent have to be reminded also.
