Michellina…your Medic Alert MCs info exactly what I am looking for..because many health care professionals and others do not understand the gravity MCs or even what it is.
I am wondering if the Classic bracelet is more noticeable to all as they are most familiar with it.
All input welcome.
Thanks. I’m glad you found this helpful 🙂
The silver/stainless steal classic bracelet or neck pendent may be more familiar to health professionals such as ambulance medics; however, the jewellery/crystal bead one that i have has the same pendent on it. If/when I buy another one I’ll get the classic (even though I find it a tad fugly), the crystal one has broken twice and I’ve had to get it fixed. The beads go everywhere when it does.
I don’t have ‘MCS’ written on mine, just ‘Inhalant allergies’ and ‘sensitive to chemicals’ cause I don’t fancy trying to explain what it is if they don’t know and I’m bamboozled from fragrance or solvent exposure [read: they are wearing a truckload of perfume, aftershave or spray deodorant packed full of eye-stinging, head-splitting, sinus-aching chemicals that have been proven to be allergens and irritants].
I also have a link to the MCS hospital guidelines on file with MedicAlert; and the link to the hospital guidelines is written on the emergency card that MedicAlert supply along with the bracelet.
Hi Michellina, Good idea regarding MCS hospital Guidelines on file with Medic Alert. I am trying to get the bracelet organized and..a bit uncertain about some of their additional product info…even a USB stick for clip on? I will phone them.It sure is nice to talk with you..someone also with MCS although would not wish it on anyone. I have had a few medical apointments recently with specialists..I am sure they think I am crazy…my work background is advanced practice nursing.. so I think for this reason they may take me a bit seriously…I like the idea of handing out the guidelines..
OH..have you ordered any products from the MCS shop? Would I have any problem with an order in Canada…?
