Title: Free Emergency Card
Post by Susan on 07/11/05 at 08:25:54

It is always a good idea to have your emergency contact information on you. Here is a form I created. All you have to do is fill in the info, cut out the card and fold it in half -- it should fit in standard-size wallets.

In order to display it here, I scanned it in as a jpeg but I do have it as a Word document. If anyone wants the word doc, just send me an email suzukisavage@comcast.net.

Also, if someone has a way to host a link to a Word doc just let me know and I will send you the doc so we can put the link here...

Susan, that's a great idea. I carry all my medical information on a computer printout with my license and insurance card, including a list of the medications I am on. I also have my home phone number programed into my cell phone as "Home Phone" so any good samaritan who might help me can reach the people who need to know in case of emergency. My oldest daughter was thrown from a horse years ago and was found only by accident by a passing rancher. He had no idea who or where she came from. After calling an ambulance & sending her off (unconscious) to the hospital, he drove around until he found the Vet clinic she worked at and told them what had happened. If she had carried some ID in her jeans, it would have been much easier for all of us. We just assumed everyone knows who we are and that nothing will happen but unfortunately it sometimes does.

Do you mind sharing with us where you could get these dogtags? Are there a site on the net?

I use Cycle Gadgets helmet info sheet. They provide them free to customers (no purchase necessary). They come with a nice little plastic holder that keeps it on the outside of the helmet to make is easy to find. I have one on each of my helmets.

I also remember seeing a sticker somwhere that said something like "Do not remove helmet without a doctor present!" but I cannot seem to locate one.
