Medical alert bracelets or necklaces, provided by Medics SOS, speak for you for you in case of an emergency. According to a recently published study, half of all medical errors occur because of mistakes made upon admission or discharge from the hospital. Wearing medical identification jewelry protects you from those errors since more than 95 percent of emergency responders will look for some form of medical ID tag.
Medics SOS is a company that stands out among medical alert companies because its medical alert bracelets and necklaces contain more than an emergency call button. They also contain patient information on file, which can be instantly accessible in an emergency and immediately helpful to paramedics rushing to the scene of an emergency.
The emergency call button response system and the availability of patient information to responding paramedics are key advantages Medics SOS has compared with traditional 911 emergency systems. These distinctions are convincing a growing number of people throughout the country to turn to the private sector for the peace of mind they can not get from traditional 911 EMT systems. Among the many new customers of Medics SOS is Ann Cataldo of Stamford, CT. After reading about all the problems with 911, I looked for a more reliable emergency care solution when my father became ill," said Cataldo. "I wanted to hire an emergency care service that would treat my father as if he were part of their family." Cataldo hired Medics SOS.
Cataldo has been very happy with the Medics SOS alert response system, especially during an incident in which her father, Pete Gentile, fell to the floor inside his Stamford apartment and, could not sit up or even crawl to telephone to call 911 because of his injuries. But with the simple push of a button on his medical alert wrist band, a Medics SOS dispatcher was alerted, a local ambulance arrived within minutes along with Gentiles medical profile. During the two minutes it took the ambulance to arrive, Gentile received reassurances from the Medics SOS dispatcher, who spoke with him through a loudspeaker activated by his wrist band. The Medics SOS dispatcher kept my father calm until the ambulance arrived and when they did arrive they had already received the medical profile of my father, provided to them by Medics SOS. "You can not get this kind of support with a phone call to 911!" Cataldo said.
