Alert Bracelet

Alert Bracelet was created by lornahalbert
So I made a bracelet and bought a medical alert tag online. However it's a beaded bracelet and I wear the tag on the underside of my wrist. The tag has a pink ribbon and my name engraved. Do you think it will be too easy for paramedics or doctors to miss it? I have another tag on the way with the medical symbol on it, but I would still like to wear it on the underside of my wrist to avoid attention. Any thoughts?

I think that's a perfect way to wear a medical ID bracelet. I've seen several sites that sell bracelets like that. I would imaging the medics will pick up your wrists and turn them over just as part of examinging you, and notice it right away. The only thing you might add is the word over on the front of the tag, so the medics will know to look on the underside for other info (if you had any engraved). How crafty of you to make your own bracelet. I'm going to get a bracelet similar in style to yours with the words "Caregiver to my husband" and engraved on the back will be the message "Don will need help and our phone number". Where did you get your tags?

I looked at a lot of sites, and this one had the most affordable selections. The bracelets were so expensive and it only cost me about $5 at a crafts store to get the materials from the bracelet and followed a youtube video on how to make it. :)
