IN CASE OF EMERGENCY (ICE)
Medical Information Form
Nobody wants to have a medical emergency. But if you have one, there are certain kinds of information that all responding emergency medical personnel need to know immediately: your medical history and your medications. It isn't always easy to remember, or worse yet, you may not capable of reporting these things in a medical emergency.
We have created a two page form to help you have the information on-hand and readily available to medical first responders. The first part is for your medical history; the second part is for your medications. Even if you don't take any medications, write that on the form. If you only take over-the-counter medications, write that on the form. Put all medications that you take on the form including over-the-counter medications, prescription medications, herbs and vitamins.
Check the form for accuracy once a month. You will need to update it whenever your prescriptions change in any way or your health changes.
These forms are ESPECIALLY important if you live alone, or are home alone a lot.
Print out the forms; complete one for each member of the family; put the forms in an envelope and attach them to your refrigerator; write ICE (In Case of Emergency) in large letters on the outside.
