Myself I have had some major medical issues and it has brought to light something I have shared with all of my friends and co workers and I figured that there are alot of you out here who may also get some use out of

In my wallet I have a card with my medications , surgeries , allergies and other medical important info
SAMPLE (i have edited out info i did not want to share)
------
Medications
1) Synthroid 200 mgs/day
2) Cytomel 25 mgs/day
3) ... ... ... i am not going to list all my meds here but be sure to list your vitamins as well as any herbals you are taking
Surgeries
1) Feb 2010 right side Thyroidectomy
2) Mar 2010 Thyroidectomy completion
3) Apr 2010 Stapedectomy right ear
4) May 2010 Radioactive Iodine 175 mCi
5) Aug 2010 Stapedectomy Left ear
Medical Alerts

In my wallet I have about 5 of these when asked for the info i just hand them the card I normally get it back but it’s always nice to have spares (not to mention you can print up a lot on 1 page of paper (hopefully)
Also any time I pick up meds the pharmacist asks about things like that
Also if you ever get in a car wreck or such and are unable to give the info they have your name, a contact person and your meds and medic alerts. be sure to put Thyroidectomy as a medic alert cause sometimes they are a little dense and don’t realize you said it in surgeries.
Remember a card like this will be of tremendous use if you can’t respond to the doc and they can’t get a hold of anyone else.
The Doctors, nurses and receptionists as well as ER staff think its wonderful I have this card.

Would love to know what you all think

If anyone can come up with more things to put on or reasons why we shouldn't list some of these things please comment.
