Default Does anyone wear a medical bracelet?

Just curious if anyone wears one... I read someplace else that it's a good idea.. to have it engraved with no ng w/o scope.........

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."

My doc requires you to get one. I don't ever wear the thing. I've got a card in my wallet that says I'm a GB patient and no scoping w/o calling my doc first. I keep it with my drivers license.
