Wed., October 9,1985 — THE MAIL-JOURNAL

According to the American College of Emergency Physicians, there are more than 80 million visits to the U.S. hospital emergency rooms every year. This fact alone, says Medic Alert, clearly demonstrates the need for people who have hidden medical conditions to take advantage of the protection offered to them by emergency medical identification. Medic Alert, which claims to be the best recognized system of emergency medical identification in the world, currently serves more than 1.3 million members in the United States. Close to 600,000 others are served by 16 affiliate foundations outside the U.S. The Medic Alert system consists of an alerting device, worn as either a bracelet or necklace, a 24-hour emergency answering

EMERGENCY MEDICAL IDENTIFICATON — More than 1.3 million persons in the United States are members of the Medic Alert system. The Medic Alert alerting device, pictured, can be worn as a bracelet or necklace, and makes available to emergency medical personnel information concerning hidden medical conditions.

service, and a wallet card reissued every year to assure emergency medical personnel that they are working with current medical history that is 12 months or less old. Each alerting device is engraved with the member’s hidden medical condition, or conditions, individual Medic Alert membership number and the toll-free number of the emergency answering service. If the member is stricken in a medical emergency and is unable to communicate his or her hidden condition, emergency personnel can call Medic Alert and receive, within 30 seconds, the member’s emergency medical data which has been stored in computer files. “We face a difficult challenge,” says Medic Alert’s director of medical affairs Luther L. Terry, M.D., who served as U.S. Surgeon General under President John F. Kennedy. “Many of the 40 million people who have hidden medical conditions really don’t want to either admit or publicize the fact that they have a problem. In addition, many simply don’t want to let their condition affect their daily lives. They want to live a normal, productive life feeling good about themselves.” “Our feeling is that Medic Alert protection offers these people a chance to have an ‘extra edge’ in case they experience a medical emergency and are unable to communicate their problem. If they can’t speak, Medic Alert will speak for them. We believe that Medic Alert membership adds to the quality of a person’s life rather than detracts from it.” For further information about Medic Alert, write: Medic Alert Foundation, P.O. Box 1009, Turlock, Calif. 95381.
