Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC - but important ---> ICE

Rick:
The new STANDARD for emergency personnel is "ICE" - that is what  
emergency personnel are now trained to look for.  You can keep the  
HOME entry but should add ICE.
You don't want to add a challenge the emergency worker to figure out  
your "system" - particularly under the stress of the type of emergency  
situation where you are likely to be unresponsive - and should,  
instead, adopt THEIR STANDARD.

This is something my friends and family have been
doing for years, as
a result of an article I had read in an EMT
magazine.
You should, right now, add a contact to your cell
phone under the name
ICE - "In Case of Emergency."  Put in the contact
information of the
person or persons that you would want contacted
should you be in an
accident that renders you unable to speak or
otherwise provide your
own medical direction.
Make sure that person has pertinent information
about your medical
history, medications, and medical directives (and
care of your animals).
Now-a-days, everyone carries a cell phone and for
the past few years
EMTs have been trained to look to the phone and
check for ICE
information when confronted with a non-responsive
patient.
This can save your life.
