Briskly jogging the shores of Lake Michigan in Chicago, hiking in the Cordillera de los
Andes, or casually walking the courtyard of the Louvre in Paris. There is a common
denominator that should be part of these journeys and all others around the globe,
but is absent millions of times a day. Something so simple, that its simplicity is part
of the reason it is neglected. It is a lightweight and unobtrusive tool, hopefully
somewhat durable, able to withstand the elements but most importantly, when needed
has the necessary content to serve its purpose... What is it you ask? Personal
identification.
Has this thought ever crossed your mind while getting ready to hit the trail? This
thought crosses millions of people's minds around the world daily, but is often
overlooked out of the inconvenience aspect. To simplify and make more convenient, it
should not be complicated. At a minimum it should state who you are and be able to
provide the basic information about you and your health, should an emergency
situation occur. What essential information should it include?
Your name
Emergency contact names and phone numbers
Allergies
Medical conditions or special needs
Blood type
Primary care physician
Basically any information that would be helpful should the unexpected occur and you
are rendered helpless to provide. In the United States alone, in 2004, over half million
people were admitted to the emergency rooms completely unconscious. In a situation
like a car accident, heart attack, violent attack, unknown medical condition, heat
stroke, and similar, every bit of additional information is vital, especially when
traveling thru unfamiliar areas or territories. This basic information could save your life
or the life of someone close to you. Ways to take action:
Write information on a durable piece of paper or use a business card to stuff in your
sock, shoe or pocket. Carry information in a shoe pocket, shoewallet or wrist wallet
Buy a laminated or medal ID card or bracelet. Write information inside a baseball cap
or tag on your clothes
Medical professionals around the world are trained to search for personal identification
and information, so make it easily accessible. Let's get serious about carrying
identification for ourselves and the people we care about and take action today.
