Book Cover & Preview Text
In the event you require emergency medical care, it is imperative first responders are provided with accurate, up to date, and complete health history to best provide you with accurate and safe emergency care. You are key in decision making regarding your healthcare. But, unfortunately, in times of emergencies, the stress, anxiety or one’s inability to communicate, can hamper a person’s ability to relate the necessary information first responders need for their initial assessment and course of action. I-C-E, In Case of Emergency, Essential Medical Journal For First Responders, can be that tool that assists you in being as involved as possible. This book is designed to provide all first responders, including the hospital staff, with your medical history so you receive the best care and eliminate potentially costly, or even deadly, mistakes caused by incomplete or incorrect information.
