Of course, I am very certain that this only worked because I could state my name, address, date of birth, and social security number, and I was already in the Duke Hospital system since my primary care physician is in the same network, so they could bring up all my insurance and past medical info on the 'puter.

2 years ago I had a fairly bad accident. I was unconcious for about 20 minutes and when I came to, I didn't know my name, address, etc. But for some strange reason I knew I had ID in my Camelbak. The paramedics retrieved it and my insurance information and based on that I was transported to a really nice hospital as opposed to the country urgent care which would have been my option.

PS: I was riding with someone but he knew me as a riding buddy and didn't even know my last name. Just good to know I have that information handy if it's needed.
