Does UBPN still do the medic alert help?
and if so how can we get it?
thanks

If you are talking about the medic alert cards? They can be found at Brachial Plexus Awareness page. Go there and click on Medical Professionals, then Physicians. Then there is an entry for Emergency Medical Card. It has choices to fit almost every mix of BPI.

what are they??

No, they used to do the bracelets for the kids either free or cheaper for us here on UBPN. I think they still do.. trying to find the posts...

What I am talking about, is a link to a pdf file that has various printings to explain to first responders (providing hey check your wallet)that you have a brachial plexus injury, which side it is on, ad certain precautions they need to exercise in moving, or positioning you, to be careful with injections to the bad side, etc. That may not be what angelsmom was talking about though.

The bracelits seem like a better idea, especially for kids. In the absence of that, the alert cards are ok for someone who has a good place to keep them.

I know.. but the original post is about the bracelets for the kids, that is what I was responding to..

hell fight over it and video tape it that would be more interesting lololol
