I'm going to order the materials for the holster tonight and I'll show my progress with it when I get a chance.<br /><br />Last night I noticed my epi-pens expired in November.

In fact, something that could easily be mistaken for a weapon holster at first glance is more likely to draw our attention before anything else, and someone <i>will</i> be tasked to check it <i>immediately</i> and secure it if it is a weapon (unresponsive patients are often violently combative when they wake up).<br /><br />As long as you're making a holster for your epi-pens, you should add a space for a paper with your medical history, medications, and known drug allergies. Let it do double duty.Jake (formerly Riposte3)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02976718318892210404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540162652707616108.post-63772067327164780972012-02-01T12:56:57.976-05:002012-02-01T12:56:57.976-05:00Every once in awhile I have a decent idea or two. ...Every once in awhile I have a decent idea or two.

But I'm fairly unobservant.<br /><br />As for the tattoo on the forehead... that's a good idea. Your wife's objections are baseless as you have kids now and you're not going out in public ever again anyway.<br /><br />Or you could consider a medical bracelet or medical dog tags. People are semi-trained to look for those things.Broken Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562569871940946226noreply@blogger.com
