I never thought of this but it makes sense. Thanks for the great idea. And congratulations on your progress.

Those of you that have the iPhone 6 can put all of your medical information under the health application. The great thing about it, medical personnel and EMTs are being trained to look for that information and do NOT need a code to get into your device. I just got mine last week and was able to insert all my medical alerts, medications and emergency contact information.

I was going to order a Bracelet and then my hubby told me about this new feature and immediately ordered me a new phone. I also love the other health features in the software now too.

In fact all apple phones with iOS 8 and above have that capability.

I wear a medical alert Bracelet because I have life threatening allergies, some of which result in anaphylaxis. I can't afford to hope an EMT has the time or what with all to look in my pocketbook and find my iPhone and then look up my medical info. I've got minutes to spare. I'll stick with the medic alert jewelry.

Does the No Blind Tube thing apply to VGS patients also or just bypass? I've never thought about this. Thx!!
