I know that this probably has been answered before, but I cannot seem to find a thread.
As I am working through getting pre-op stages, I was thinking about how to handle medical emergencies after surgery. Obviously, if I am alert, I am perfectly capable of explaining thing. However, a circumstance could exist where I am not able to communicate to the emergency room staff. What do you all have in place for that scenario? Do you have one of those medical alert bracelets? What did you put on it? Do you keep the packet of paperwork in your purse (and I feel sorry if a man has to put it in his back pocket)? I guess I can just scan everything as a PDF and keep it on a thumb drive on my person (probably a better idea).
