I can't vote???  
I have a medical alert bracelet because I have severe allergies that cause me to go into anaphylatic shock.
I revised it to add that I have had brain surgery.
I figure that would be simple enough for a ER staff to figure out!  

I have a medical card in my wallet that list my doctors and more detailed information.
