I don't expect an EMT to call while on-scene, but it's appropriate for the hospital to call once the patient is stable. My info is lengthy enough that I don't want to trust it to 6 lines on a bracelet. The critical stuff is on there, so the EMTs know what they're dealing with upfront. The rest is just icing for the hospital staff...
