9. MedicAlert bracelet is extremely important -- it's much more visible than a necklace
I wear the necklace because of penicillin allergy. The only reason I'm likely to be unconscious is due to accident, in which case docs are pretty likely to have pulled off my clothes before injecting me with anything.
A friend's grown son has a seizure disorder of unknown origin, and has had a few episodes on the bus (he's smart enough not to drive). I strongly urged her to get him a MediAlert bracelet before someone has him arrested for being doped or drunk. Afaik no action yet, but these are dangerous and uncompassionate times.
