Introduction to the Medical Information Form™
Dr. Steiner's
Medical Information Form™
The
Medical Information Form™ is easy to use and will help you keep track of your
medications, vitamins and supplements. It folds up neatly into your wallet
or pocket, and you can change it as often as you need to. And, best of all,
it is absolutely free!
Use the links above to learn more about the Medical Information Form™.
Few people remember the names and dosages of the medications, vitamins and
supplements they take. Even fewer realize that it can be deadly to mix certain
medications with over-the-counter medicines. By keeping your list of all types
of medications, your pharmacist and doctors make sure that it
is safe to take them together.
INCREASE YOUR COMFORT AND SAFETY
Example: Yvonne, a recently
divorced woman in her 40's decided to get "back in shape." Part of her routine
was to go for long walks on a local bike path. One afternoon she simply collapsed.
Paramedics were unable to help her and had no information about who to contact
in an emergency. This tragedy could have been avoided if she had had a MedForm
in her pocket along with her keys.
Example: Amy, a 35 year-old bank teller joined her local gym
and began taking exercise classes. After a few months she learned that the
heartburn she had was a symptom of a mild heart problem and she began heart
medication. After she had the flu she started taking some supplements that
were advertised as energy boosters. When she showed her MedForm to her doctor
he told her that the combination of the heart medications she was taking and
the supplements could cause permanent heart damage.
Example: An older patient described a recent episode with
paramedics and ambulance staff, "I didn't want them bothering me and asking
me questions, they wanted to know my insurance numbers, which I always know
but I botched it and that got me even more upset." The MedForm could have
saved her embarrassment and helped her get proper medical care faster.

"ICE"
- In Case of Emergency
"ICE" will speak for you when you are not able to. This
is a standard procedure all paramedics follow at the scene of an accident when
they come across your cell phone.
We all carry our cell phones with names and numbers stored in its memory
but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our
closest family or friends.
If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending
us would have our cell phone but wouldn't know who to call. This "ICE" (In
Case of Emergency) Campaign is designed to help emergency personnel find your
emergency contact persons' phone number.
"ICE" is a method of contact
during emergency situations. As cell (mobile) phones are carried by the majority
of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person
or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name "ICE" (
In Case Of Emergency).
Add this nationally recognized system to your cell phone.
In an emergency situation, emergency service personnel and hospital staff will
be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you
have stored as "ICE."
For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A great
idea that will make a difference!
