Med Help Store
This may be totally whack, but have you all ever thought of selling Med Help things? I bet there are people who would buy them...T shirts, pens, coffee mugs, lanyards, etc.
I would like to place an advance order for a Med Help thong. Better make it a large, after the way I've not followed my diet this past week.
Thank you very much,
Peek

I would definitely go for a t-shirt, baseball cap, coffee mug, luggage tags, post-it notes, and pens.
Refrigerator Magnet - with area to write in Dr's names/#'s
Luggage Tags
Key Fob or Fabric Keyfob with logo on the fabric (the type a whistle attaches to)
T-Shirts
On the binder idea - A magnet on their refrigerator which has a pocket in it with the member's health conditions + meds listed.. It's the size of a small index card and the pouch is plastic which contains a pullout paper to chart the meds for emergency personnel. If you have to go to hospital or an ambulance is called it's readily available, easy-access and can have the MedHelp logo on the front - My mom (who is older) has one like this given to her by her local ambulance squad.
Great ideas, Heif!
Love the binder idea, especially!

I have several diseases which cause me to end up in the Emergency Department unable to speak for myself, and as such I have an Emergency Medical binder that has all of my medical information neatly tabbed in clear page dividers inside that goes everywhere I go. It actually comes in handy even when I can talk, as it has my list of medications and dosages, my list of doctors and phone numbers, my emergency contact names and phone numbers, my medical power of attorney, my living will, my organ donor forms, my list of drug allergies/other emergency medical info, etc. Every time you check into the hospital for outpatient surgery or anything like that, they want all of this information and instead of filling out forms I can just give them my binder and they make copies of everything they want.
My point is that we are a community of people, MANY of whom have significant medical histories and could benefit from having all of this information in one place. The nurses always ooh and aah over my binder, and I cannot tell you how much time and hassle it saves me and my loved ones. Maybe MedHelp could make a binder with a space on the front to put your name if you want, and dividers on the inside for the different sections. Mine are labeled Emergency, Medications, Contact Info, Living Will, Power of Atty, Organ Donor, Doctors, General Physical History, Family History, Labs, Insurance. I also use red tabs for Emergency through Organ Donor, as those are the ones likely to be needed if I end up in the emergency room. The binder could also come with the clear sheet protectors to put all of the pages in, and some instructions on what should be included in each section (particularly what to put on the first page that EMTs would need to know about you if you couldn't speak for yourself, including a clear photograph of yourself to help identify you).
You know those magnetic white boards that students use in lockers a lot? They're great for putting on the fridge to keep track of when meds are taken. Could you get MedHelp ones pre-printed that say "Today's Meds:" and have check boxes in a row under that so you could write down what you're supposed to take that day by name or time and check it off when you take it so if you forget you can look and see if you took it or not?
The hospital I go to has 32 oz mugs that they keep your water in. I'm a bit of a frequent flyer, and I have quite the collection of these mugs. They're great because you can easily get way more than your 8 glasses (64 oz) of water a day when you're drinking out of something that holds so much. Could you sell giant water mugs that have the oz measurements going down the side so people can keep track of their water intake? This is especially good for those of us who have to monitor our fluid intake due to meds!
Measuring tape to monitor weight loss and/or fluid retention--there are some nice retractable ones in plastic housing that seamstresses use.
I like the stress ball idea.
Have you thought about trying to get a deal with a medical ID company and see if they would give a special deal to MedHelp in exchange for you funneling business their way? (Tip: not all companies will, but some of the medical ID companies will alter your bracelet with medication changes, new doctors, etc. within the time period that it is under warranty and by far these are the best deal.)
What about pill dividers? Could you put your logo on those? Med Sun makes a wide variety of pill cases and some are extremely convenient. I have this one:

The nice thing is each individual day is removable from the rest of the week so you can just put that day in your purse and not have to tote around the whole pharmacy. :-p
I guess I'm just trying to think of things that would be practical for people with medical problems.

LOL...Yeah, I'll wear the MH T-shirt with "wannabenana" on it, and you can wear the "Peekawho Thong"!
You could customize the shirts with your MH username!
Can you imagine, someone recognizing you out in public and shouting "Nana! How ya been!"

Let's see, for my job, I could use desktop items.
Ex: MH mouse pad, tape dispenser, stapler, pen/pencil holder. How about a Med Help calendar and post it's?
And, since I work from home, I can wear my MH T-shirt to work.

T-shirts, pens, lanyards (I have to have those for work) little things like that would be good.
We have actually considered selling MedHelp items in a store. It's nice to know that there is some interest. If anyone else is interested in a MedHelp store, please add a comment to this discussion and let us know what kind of products you're interested.
No Peekawho thongs, although that's quite a catchy name.

This concept has great potential.
You should seriously consider it.
Swampy, any word from Kelly?

We could have little Med Help collectible figurines! This could be big!
Funny you should mention this Peek, as Swampy is wearing a pair on his head right now.
He is hoping Kelly LeBrock will show up.
