Re medical bracelet: “Why should he have to? Why should anyone have to?”
So that they could, if they wore it, get the particular kind of care they need, and so that EMTs and/or police will have a better chance of treating them properly and humanely.
I would think that someone with a recurring condition would WANT to wear a medical bracelet. It doesn’t have to be mandatory, so its reasonable to ask.
There is a huge difference between wearing it for help, and needing to wear it to prevent from being imprisoned.
My son has type I diabetes. When he went to college, I told him he was going to either wear a medical warning bracelet or get a tattoo on his wrist (and I would pay for either or both). He chose to get a tattoo. That tattoo, saved his butt several times when he let his sugar get too low and he acted drunk around cops.
