Provided by: FlashID International Pty Limited 7/08/2008 - The Medical Profession has recognised for some time the importance of emergency identification schemes. Indeed this was the subject of a paper published in the Emergency Medicine Journal, a publication of the British Association for Accident & Emergency Medicine. (Morton et al, 2002) In their paper Sister L Morton, of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at London’s Hammersmith Hospital, and others stated, “Millions of people worldwide may have a hidden medical condition that could endanger their life in an emergency. Sr Morton went on to state that such schemes alert health care professionals to potential problems and can ensure appropriate and prompt treatment. But it is not only those with hidden medical conditions and allergies that can benefit from prompt and accurate identification. Anybody who becomes incapacitated through illness or trauma can be identified quickly and positively by use of this new, simple, inexpensive and reliable emergency identification device that has been developed in Australia and, we are proud to say, is a world first. |
