Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / July 2005OTP: A Really Good Idea
We saw this on the news last night and my cousin sent this to my email: Good to know! Subject: In case of emergency ICE Paramedics will turn to a victim's cell phone for clues to that person's identity. You can make their job much easier with a simple idea that they are trying to get everyone to adopt: ICE. ICE stands for In Case of Emergency. If you add an entry in the contacts list in your cell phone under ICE, with the name and phone no. of the person that the emergency services should call on your behalf, you can save them a lot of time and have your loved ones contacted quickly. It only takes a few moments of your time to do. Paramedics know what ICE means and they look for it immediately. ICE your cell phone NOW! Please pass this one along Hi DeeTee! I saw this on the news as well and it definitely sounds like a good idea and one that is very simple to implement!!! I think everyone should do this not only on their cell phones, but also their home phones as well. Donna G Sounds like a good idea. Better check with your local emergency people. I got disillusioned when I tried to find out about my MedicAlert decal location. We'll still put it in the cell phone. I'm thinking that maybe "mother" or "husband", etc, might be better as the two times that my mom could have used it was when she fell in the store's parking lot and the people at the store were helping her.

Great concept, but after one stolen cell phone I always leave mine locked with a passcode. They'd never get as far as the directory. Janet N. > Sounds like a good idea.
