American Medical ID

In an emergency, an engraved medical ID bracelet or necklace can provide time and easy access to life-saving medical information for asthma and allergy patients. Many patients can't speak for themselves in an emergency and proper diagnosis in the first few minutes is critical to proper treatment and can reduce long-term effects. Symptoms in an emergency situation from common maladies can easily be misdiagnosed. Medical IDs save valuable time, reduce costs and help ensure proper care in an emergency. AAFA-TX has arranged with American Medical ID to offer a 10 percent discount on medical ID orders. Click this link for more information or to order your medical ID from American Medical ID.
