Minimo   59 #13 Posted March 6, 2009 I have a S.O.S necklace you can buy them from HM Samuels around £30 I think plus other places it comes with piece of paper what is inside the necklace and pulls out. You can put alsorts on it including blood group and alergys aswell as medication.  Thanks, that sounds well worth checking.  Thanks too for the other suggestions.

boyfriday   21 #14 Posted March 6, 2009 Gosh I don't know whether to be flattered or not.  ..be flaterred Minimo! The tone of your posts and what you have to say give the impression you're younger than you are, funnily enough, when I read the thread title, I thought you were going to argue that necklaces were passe and there was a much trendier alternative!  What I'm not telling is whether I'm one of those women who always knock a few years off. ..that of course, is a lady's perogative Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
medusa   16 #15 Posted March 6, 2009 I was just about to go and amend the thread title with some quote marks to make it more readable, but when I got there someone else had already done it. Thank you CR! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Yakubu   10 #16 Posted March 6, 2009 Just out of interest...  If something did happen (eg Heart attack at home) would the paramedics just leave you on the floor till you expired? What would happen to the paramedic if he/she couldnt bring themselves to just leave you there, and actually brought you back around against your wishes?

What would happen to the paramedic if he/she couldnt bring themselves to just leave you there, and actually brought you back around against your wishes?  A very interesting question, and one that needs answering. Are there any paramedics on here who could comment?  In my own case, as I live alone chances are I would have expired long before anyone found me.

cgksheff   44 #18 Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) In the UK 'DNR' will only be decided in a hospital/care home situation, by a team of doctors. A living will will be looked at when coming to such a decision. A bracelet/necklace will make them aware that such a will is in existence.  Paramedics called to a collapsed individual will not pay any attention to such a request. They will only look for life-saving information on bracelets. Edited March 6, 2009 by cgksheff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

perplexed   10 #20 Posted March 6, 2009 I'm sorry, but I totally mis-read the title and my first thought was..

What would happen to the paramedic if he/she couldnt bring themselves to just leave you there, and actually brought you back around against your wishes?  A nurse at work did that a couple of years ago, lost her job over it for not following instructions, the woman was wearing a DNR braclet and it was also on her chart...she did get another job later on with no problem, the problem wasn't mostly reviving the woman but not following instructions when she had the time to.
