Aid to Paramedics
In the UK there is a scheme being operated by various caring agencies
which is free to the user.You are given a plastic tub with a lid on
it.Inside the tub is a form and you can put all your medical
details,next of kin,etc on it.The tub is kept in the door of your
fridge.With the tub comes two green cross stickers.One goes on the
inside wall where your front door opens and the other on the fridge
door.If there is an emergency the paramedics see the cross as they
enter and look for the other cross,then they can locate the tub and
read the details.If you are unconscious they then know what is likely
to be the cause and can save valuable minutes in treating you.This is a
really simple and clever idea and it works.
