Tessa - Look What I Found Today!

Post by tex »

Hi Tessa,

I stopped at Wal-Mart today, to try to find some vitamins, and I just happened to notice this Medical ID Bracelet hanging there. This appears to be a do-it-yourself type bracelet. IOW, it comes with four generic inserts that say, "This patient has a MEDICAL CONDITION, (or ALLERGIES, or DIABETES, or a CARDIAC CONDITION), see wallet card for info" - you just use the one you want. The wallet card, of course, may require a doctors signature. I don't know - I'm just guessing. I haven't opened the package, in case I need to send it to you. You can see part of the wallet card on the back of the package, and I don't see any place for a doctors signature, there, but it could be hidden behind the inserts that are shown in front of it.

I have no idea if they are available in Spain, or any other country. The brand name is MACX, (it can be seen in the upper left corner, in the first image, below.

If you are interested, and cannot find it in Spain, I would be happy to send you this one, provided that your country's customs department will allow me to send it to you.

Here is what is on the back of the package:

In case you are not familiar with the term UNISEX, it means that it can be worn by either men or women. Here's another view of the bracelet:

Love,

Hi Tex

Thank you for thinking about me.

I have not looked for a Medical ID Bracelet yet, as I am planning to travel tomorrow and have been arranging many things in order to be able to enjoy a few days on holiday... :vacationsign:
In the meantime, I have printed a Medical Alert information and have it in my wallet. (Hoping they would look into it).

I think that the medical bracelet you mention has 4 options but not the option to write the text that one would need to write on it...
Even though, I have an appointment with my GP when coming back from our short holiday trip and I am planning to ask a few things to him.

I really have no idea if they are available in Spain, but I will look into it on our return. Thank you for your kind offer, Tex. You are always willing to help. You always get to my heart. :pulsinghearts:
Please, use the bracelet for the use you wanted to give to it. We will keep in touch. I hope to be able to find it here... On the contrary, I will contact you again and we will talk about it.

Love, Tessa

Hi Tessa,

With this bracelet, you just pick the insert that is the most appropriate, and then write the details on the wallet card. For example, "Medical Condition" would cover just about any emergency possibility.

I hope your trip is relaxing and very enjoyable. Let me know if you decide you would like to have the bracelet.

Love,
Tex
