| I'm a member of the Medic-Alert organization. In the U.S., it costs $25 a year, and they send you a card and a sticker to put on the windshield of your car. I bought a necklace and bracelet. What I really want, though is their Citzen eco-drive watch that has the logo on the face and is engraved with my membership number on the back. At $139, though, it's a little too pricey.
The other advantage with the Medic-Alert system is that you can register all your meds, dosages, frequency, etc., online, so the EMTs can get the info and have it in hand when you get to the ER, so the attending doc will have it in front of him. I don't wear my ID to work, for reasons I've stated before, but while traveling or anywhere else, I do wear it.
