Study to look at planting identification chips in dementia patients[VeriChip Corp.]{RFID}

The scenario is all too real in South Florida: An Alzheimer's patient wanders away from home and is found by police officers who take him to a local hospital for care. But the patient cannot recall potentially life-threatening conditions like diabetes or heart disease, making a quick assessment difficult at best.

To help solve that problem, a Delray Beach company and the Alzheimer's Community Care Association of Palm Beach and Martin Counties Inc. have begun a two-year study to determine whether it's practical to implant tiny computer chips containing medical records in dementia patients.

If a patient becomes separated from family members, emergency room doctors could obtain crucial medical information by scanning the chip, obtaining a 16-digit identification number and then entering the number in a special computer system at the hospital. That would disclose the patient's name, address, caregiver, diagnosis, physician, medical issues and medications.

"People with Alzheimer's and dementia are our most vulnerable population, particularly during hurricane season. We're hoping this kind of technology creates a safer environment for them and creates higher efficiency in the emergency room," said Mary Barnes, president and chief executive of Alzheimer's Community Care.

VeriChip Corp. will provide the chips for free for the two-year, 200-patient study that could start as early as May. The company also will seek to enroll as many Palm Beach County hospitals as possible in the study and equip them with scanners to access the patient code embedded on each chip, spokeswoman Allison Tomek said.

I think that id chips should be planted in liberals so that we can follow them around and keep them out of trouble.

sound like big brother trying to watch us to much......
anyone else see the mark of the beast here? just curious

First it's the dogs. Then it's the kids. Now it's the Alzheimer's/dementia population. The rest of us might just as well get in line.

What's wrong with old fashioned "Dog Tags"?

What's the difference between a chip in your body and the chip in your Sensenbrenner Real ID?

[metmom]

It's not going to protect privacy. Maybe I'll become Amish. This is getting way out of control.

[metmom]

Because the one in my body is IN MY BODY, not on some card I carry and can leave off my person if I wish.

[Ben Ficklin]

There is no law that you have to have an embedded chip.

There is a law that you have to have the Real ID.

Wouldn't it be more convenient to have it embedded and not have to worry about losing it or leaving it at home by mistake?

Not yet.

No, it just opens the door to governmental tracking and a way to control people. It will lead to that. Everything the government does leads to the worst case scenario.

I'll tell you what. You do it if you want. Leave me out of it.

And remember...when the Seven Vials of God's Wrath are poured, the marked sheeple will be afflicted with noisome and grievous sores and be burned by hot hail.....and through it all, they will curse God's name because those who take the Mark are instantly possessed by Satan himself.

[bigdcaldavis]

Of course it will be the next terrorist attack on American soil (false-flag or not) which will get the sheeple fully behind implantable microchips.

BTW, I've always wonder what the Freepers general consenus is on the Oklahoma City bombing. The mainstream media says McVeugh and that other dude were the sole perps, while the conspiracy theorists say there was FBI involvement and therefore an "inside job". After all, the Clitons (Bull and Hitlery) orchestrated the criminal Whitewater fiasco and murdered people such as Vince Foster to keep them from exposing Bull and Hitlery as the murdering buffoons they really are.

One night the trucks will come. There will be some shouting and muted gun fire. Then the trucks will leave and the question will be. What Amish?

[philetus]

What does the govt. call dementia patients implanted with a RFID chip?

A good start.

[CDHart]

I don't know what the general consensus is among FReepers, but I think there was a whole lot more to OKC than what we've been told. Esp. when McVeigh's buddy was in the Philippines training with Muslims, and John Doe #2 looked like a Muslim.

Also, I was on one of the earliest versions of internet news (in DOS) at the time of OKC. The day after the bombing there was a quote on that news from the Chief of the Fire Department in OKC and he said he'd been warned the week before that something big was going to happen.

Why not? After all, if churches can use chips for tithing....

Well, when the “Truthers” bitch about “Bush using 9/11 to butcher the Constitution and the Bill Of Rights”, I ask them “where were YOU when Bill Clinton used the OKC bombing and the 1993 WTC bombing as excuses to do the same”. The bottom line is that 99.9% of these “Truthers”, just like the ACLU, are nothing more than the lapdogs of the Democratic Party. (It’s proven that most of the times when Bill Clinton violated civil liberties, the ACLU were nowhere to be found.)
