As a Paramedic, I've Seen What Blood Thinners Do in an Emergency. My Mother Wears This.
I'll be honest, I put it off for the longest time. I have enough that reminds me I'm not twenty anymore without wearing it on my wrist too. But this just looks like a plain silver bracelet, nothing medical about it to look at. My daughter thought I'd treated myself to something. I have it on every day now and I forget it's even there.
Especially with something like this, I'm careful. My son sat with me and we read through the reviews before I ordered anything. It came inside the week, the engraving was spelled right and lined up the way it should be, and it's worn well since. Pleasantly surprised, and I don't say that lightly.
The membership I had before kept putting the price up, a little more every renewal. This one I paid once and that was the end of it, no notices in the mail, no number to ring and cancel. And it does the very same thing — my Eliquis is right there on my wrist where they'll see it. That's really all I wanted from it.
I'd read that some of the cheaper ones wear away after a while, and that put me off ordering one for ages. This is the real steel though. I've had it in the shower, out in the garden, doing the dishes, and it hasn't faded or gone dull one bit. I expect it'll outlast me, the way it's going.
My daughter had written one out for me and it sat behind my bank card. I thought that was that. Then I read the part about the paramedics not going digging through your bag first, they look at you, and it stopped me cold. I'd honestly never thought of it that way. Now it's the one thing I know they won't miss.
