Fill in one block per person, children included. Bring the medicine bottles to the table and copy each name and dose as printed.
If you cannot explain what is going on, a doctor or paramedic often needs to know first which medicines you take, what you are allergic to, and which conditions or devices you live with. A short list that is current helps more than a long one that is out of date.
For each person
- Allergies, ongoing conditions, medicines and doses.
- Over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and supplements.
- Doctor and any specialist, with phone numbers.
- Insurance details, kept with the policy pages rather than on the summary.
Make it easy to use
- Keep a one-page medical summary for first responders, and a medical wallet card for each person.
- Bring the person's page to the hospital, with photo ID and insurance cards.
- Update the page after every doctor visit or change in medicine.
