ICE - In Case of Emergency
I heard this on the radio, and it's a good idea. I don't wear a medical bracelet, but I am allergic to penicillin and all cillin family drugs. The purpose of this is that most people like me don't wear a bracelet, but those who have a cell phone generally carry it with them.
If there is an emergency and the victim is unconscious, calling the ICE contact can clue in the emergency worker as to what medication the person may be on, or what they are allergic to.
It can't hurt, but it can help a lot.
