Being
Prepared For Unexpected Medical Emergencies Anytime, Anywhere
IN AN EMERGENCY, SECONDS
COUNT!
January 18, 2008, North
Little Rock, AR. USA.
A veteran paramedic has developed a system for the average
person to maintain a Personal, Paperless, and Portable medical
profile. Through the ‘Information Superhighway’,
the internet, profiles are created by members and can be accessed
worldwide by Healthcare Providers in emergencies or sudden
illnesses. The end result being; urgent medical care with
less delay caused by unknown, lost, or destroyed information.
Paramedic and Founder
of MedicFile.net, Michael Mathis has seen his share of emergencies
over the years. Being first on the scene in a lot of cases,
he quickly learned that in a time of crisis, gathering essential
medical information from a patient or a family member can
be a very difficult and sometimes an impossible task. Unconscious,
severely injured and in pain, c!
onfused or disoriented, or being upset are just a few reasons
a patient or family member may not be able to effectively
communicate with medical personnel.
Precious and
potentially life saving seconds are wasted when a ‘from
the beginning’ approach must be taken to assess and
treat a patient. In many cases medical personnel must perform
tests, which can be time consuming, to determine a course
of treatment due to information such as medical conditions
and history not being readily available.
Michael
Mathis, site creator stated, “My goal in creating Medicfile.net
was to give people a way to put all of their pertinent medical
information on a secure website that can be updated as their
medical history changes. With the technology that we have
today every physician and hospital has access to the internet
and with Medicfile.net this
is the future for all of us to keep our vital medical information
with us at all times.” (Taken from www.medicfile.net)
