GR8 IDEA – PLEASE READ.



Hi there people.  

I had a great idea that I just wanted to share with you.  I have been
an asthmatic since I was 3 weeks old (I’m 26 now) and have had
many asthma attacks.  One thing I found really difficult about the
whole situation, apart from the fact that I felt like I was breathing
through a straw, was that the paramedics help asking me questions,
name, address, date of birth, what inhalers and when.  The usual
stuff! Lol.



Anyone who has had an asthma attack will know how difficult it is to
answer questions when you cant breath.  I came up with a great idea.



I created a card for myself, it’s credit card size so it fits
easily into my wallet and is laminated so doesn’t get destroyed
easily.  It details my name, address, date of birth, what inhalers I
take and when, it details my allergies and my Dr’s address.
When I have an asthma attack I hand this to the paramedics and I
don’t have to answer any questions.  I works a treat.



Also great for people with diabetes or severe allergies.



Please feel free to use this idea and make yourself a card.  If you
don’t not have the facilities to make a card, publishing
software, laminating machine then I can make the card for you.  It
only costs £2 and that includes post & packaging to anywhere in the UK
(outside UK, cost will be slightly higher due to postage).  You can
choose from thousands of designs and cards are delivered within a
week.



This is a great idea, it’s makes your life soooo much easier and
the best bit……….its really cheap!!.



If you are interested then please either email me at



cindymccarron@yahoo.co.uk



or call me or text  on (+44) 0777 607 3616.



I would really love to hear from you.

Friend of mine has that on her Palm Pilot. Others use the well-known
Medic-Alert(tm) bracelet or dogtag.

I don't actually see the point of laminating a thing that's so easily
re-produced and replaces, _and_ subject to change, as one switches meds,
docs, whatever. (So, no, scratch the tattoo idea.) I'd keep more than one
copy in my wallet, though, to hand off to various personnel as needed.

Easy enough to make if you have a pen/cil, paper/cardstock, and scissors...
or a crayon and the ability to fold paper to fit, if you live in the sort of
place where you aren't allowed to play with sharps. Easier yet with a
computer and printer.
