Hey everyone,

I read most of the posts...I'm a medic here in NC..this is my personal opinion... Road ID would be nice, especially any life threatening allergies (not hayfever, etc..) sulfa, morphine, pcn, etc... diabetes, seizures, cardiac problems, etc... name, phone number are good for the cops..

I have encountered (unfortunately) too many pts that didn't make it or were unconscious upon our arrival, ID at that point in time, not important to me, to cops yes, however they can wait until I get you to an ED.

Sorry to be morbid...but it is a horrible feeling to have a pt with no id and you and the cops are searching them, their moped/bike, anything to figure out who they are, so you can let someone know they won't be coming home again. So even your drivers license in you back shirt pocket or a saddle bag..

If you are a trauma then everything, I mean everything is coming off...a visible id that won't get mistaken for jewlery/decoration is a great idea...

If you are a diabetic, have a seizure disorder, asthma, severe reaction to bee stings, etc...that would be a top thing to have on the ID...

Hope this helps...let me know if I can answer anything else...I will do my best..

Safe cycling,
