Well everyone - my Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Class has finally started - so for you this means you get the scoop as to how the Emergency Medical Service System works as well as the direction it is heading and the things you can do to make our lives a little easier. You see, the less calls we have to run or the more information we can collect on the scene the better the day we have!
The Smart Med Card - EMT Gold
When an EMT is assessing you at the scene they will be having to note such items as allergies, relevant (and perhaps sometimes not at the time relevant) medical history, medications and contacts. More often then should be though, these items on the patient report are left much more blank than they should be. This is the high point of The Smart Med Card - if you utilize the card to its full capabilities you are in turn setting yourself up for the best care possible during initial treatment and during the transfer to the hospital's emergency department.
Health Hard-Copy
For the same reasons that EMTs need your information to provide adequate and proper care, any doctor visit you have may require you to fill out their medical history forms. Even though you probably don't have too much to do anyway, filling out these forms can be just plain irritating - especially when you don't remember anything. What The Smart Med Card will have is your health information ready to print in a nice easy-to-read format that you can take with you to check-ups. Once you print this form, you now have a nice ready-to-use hard-copy that you can leave bedside, kitchen-side - wherever you may be that could be easily explained to an EMT responding to a call.
This card has got you covered.
So, folks - when EMS news breaks - you will be sure to know how you can do your part to keep yourself safe! As always, visit
