Abstract
I created with the support and encouragement of the Indiana Volunteer Fire Association the Medical alert sticker and ID program. The Medical alert sticker and ID program consists of a simple sticker that is placed on the front and back windshields of vehicles to help identify a medical issue that a person inside might have. The sticker will indicate for emergency personnel to look inside the glove box for more information where an identification card will be. This card will have the basic information for identification purposes of the person and a short medical history with allergies that will follow with the patient to the hospital. The purpose of this program is to help identify medical allergies or a medical history that could affect the treatment of the patient. This will not only help the patient, but also police can help identify a possible difference between a drunk driver and a diabetic attack. Finally, allergic reactions to latex and other medications used in hospital settings will be resolved before coming into the emergency room by ambulance. This program will be used in auto accidents and with regular drunk driving patrols.
