Where can I obtain medical history and drugs taken cards to post on refrigerator door for paramedic to use?

The cards are for individuals to post their medical history in a quickly located location; usually the kitchen refrigerator door. This aids a paramedic if he enters your home during a medical emergency. The card is enclosed in a plastic case with a magnetic strip attached.

Your local pharmacy or medical clinic should have these. If not, go to Microsoft.com. They use to have a template exactly for listing your medications as well as any current diagnoses and physicians in attendance.

As a medical professional (I use to be an EMT but work clinicals now), I always appreciate it when a patient has their information available. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. You can even type it up on the computer. Please include the name of the medication, strength, how many and how often you take it (i.e. Motrin, 800 mg, 1 tablet three times a day). Have your primary care physician's name and number available as well as any specialists you see as well as medical conditions you've been diagnosed with.

call the pharmacy or fire dept..both should know

Your doctor can give you your medical history, part of your history should contain the meds he has prescribe for you also check the pharmacy you frequent for your medicines history

I never heard of that but in the meantime you can type out the info on your computer and put in big red letters on the top of it (or use another piece of paper over it) ATTENTION EMS EMERGENCY INFO.

You dont need a special card, you can just write it on a piece of paper and post it there. It is smart to keep a copy with you too, like in a purse or wallet
