roadID

[DeniseGoldberg]

I have information on both sides of my RoadID. That option is not available on their web site - you need to call to place your order if that's what you want. Using both sides of the id means that I don't need to carry any other id with me, all of the info I mentioned in my earlier post is on a single id.

Thank you to everyone who gave me input thus far. I will go with a wrist one and shall call to see if I can have info put on both sides, since if something (God forbid) should happen to me and I was unconscious, no one would know my prescription medications.

I too, have the necklace RoadID and won't leave home without it. But, for a cheap alternative, ie $6, go to Petsmart, Petco or wherever and do your own ingraving at the dog tag machine. Although that won't give you the colorful options, nor the wrist or ankle versions. But at least you are identified!

I have the neck version with:
Name
Year of birth (at the hospital that's useful to distinguish you from another patient, to recover your file if you've been there before, etc.)
Three emergency numbers
NKA (No Known Allergies)
Blood Type
ORGAN DONOR (that's very important to me - no full legal value in most jurisdictions but good indication to the docs and good conversation starter with friends, family, any other people) (not that I wish to get to the point where I have organs to give, but if I do get there, I want to make sure they don't go to waste if there's anything to save)

I'll order new ones because one of the numbers have been updated, and my sweetie doesn't have one yet.

If your meds change at all over time it is probably more important to have the emergency phone # for your primary care doctor on your id so that the emergency personnel can call to get the most recent info on your care. I also let my doctor know that she is listed on my RoadID bracelet.

Be sure to include your blood type on the bracelet because that's info that could really help out in an emergency if you are unable to communicate!

Great tips! Thanks. :-)

Sue,
Did you loose that while cussing out your tent??! Good girl for replacing it.

Count me in on those with an ankle one. Mine is right by my door. When I leave on foot or bike it goes with me.

I've got two shoe IDs, one for running, one for biking. I also have a necklace one, for good measure. Great idea to put "Organ Donor" on it, too. Never thought of wearing an ankle one when swimming in the lake...very smart.

I have the ankle one also. I put on mine that I was a kidney donor so that they would know that I have 1 kidney. I also carry an old DL in my saddle bag just so that they can id my bike. I would be more worried about my bike than me.
