Friends
I have been diagnosed as "hypoglycemic" and advised that I should be wearing a "hypoglycemic" ID bracelet or neck chain.
Vanity gets in the way of function here:
The bracelets, I find uncomfortable and annoying and the neck chains, give a similar result. I have no wish to look like 'medallion man' and that may be at the heart of the issue. Equally I have no desire to be dead, so should ensure that I have some form of ID on (attached)my person.
A Paramedic friend suggested a Wrist Tatoo. What do the panel think?
I do not wish lectures about tatoos and their appeal or otherwise please? This is purely about function and life saving.
Paramedics and the like are trained to check wrists etc for emergency tags, marks, bracelets etc. So a tatoo would be visible to them. It do not have to have it looking like I am in a Popeye the Sailor contest. Just a discreet band on my wrist.
Any ideas, thoughts or even better, examples, please.
