Cruise Ship Safety: Get Free Medical Record Cards for Cruises

I never in a million years would have expected to write an article like this, but the most terrible thing happened to my girlfriend while she was on vacation with her fiancé and his parents.

While the four of them were enjoying a lovely week in Florida. The girls had decided to go to the beach for the afternoon while the boys decided to hit the golf course. The day was going amazing for both couples. As my girlfriend and her mother-to-be soaked up the sun they talked and enjoyed a few beverages. Suddenly the mother-in-law passed out on the beach. My girlfriend was terrified.

Help arrived and the two woman were rushed by ambulance to the nearest hospital.
Upon arrival at the local hospital, my girlfriend was asked a series of medical related questions about her mother-in-law, none of which she had an answer for. My panicked girlfriend desperately tried to offer what little information she could, but was scared and helpless.

Finally the men arrived at the hospital and everything was handled appropriately. My girlfriend and her mother-in-law are fine now. But this got me to thinking – I remembered writing a review on a company that offered special identification tags for pets that a pet can wear and any doctor or caregiver can get 100% of the pets history and need right from the USB plug in. That got me wondering if there was anything like this for humans. Believe it or not, I found something really cool…AND FREE!

CruiseMedic.com has a totally free unique safety at sea program for all cruise passengers, which can be use for absolutely anybody, even if you're not cruising! Using PassportMD's FREE software, CruiseMedic.com will help create and store a record of your medications, allergies, health history and even Living Will – as soon as ten minutes before your next cruise or any other trip.

The reason this item was invented was because Cruise lines are staffed with excellent medical facilities but without an accurate, accessible medical record, it is difficult for an onboard ship physician to treat you properly. But the same applies to any circumstance, in reality. Had my girlfriend’s mother-in-law had a cruise medic PHR or wallet card, all of the information would have been right their – blood type, contact information, emergency contacts (more than one!), health insurance information, medications he/she is currently taking and the dosage amount, surgical history, family doctor(s) and more.
This is not only a LIFE SAVING device that is FREE but it is also a huge help to a doctor or anybody who has to assist you.

And, if you are worried about the security of this site, don’t be. They DO NOT ask for or need your social security number. A doctor does not need this information to help you, so why should it be listed on your PHR or wallet card? Second, All personal information you enter is optional, so you choose what you want to include. Third, You are the sole person in control of your password and only you decide who can have access by sharing your password. Fourth, their technology employs highly sophisticated 128 bit Secure Socket Layer ("SSL") encryption technology to protect your data. This is the same technology that financial institutions and banks use! And finally, they voluntarily participate in the Council of Better Business Bureau’s BBBOnLine Privacy Program and thus have made a commitment to meet the program’s strict requirements regarding how we treat your information and have it verified by BBBOnLine.

As mentioned, there’s NO CATCH and NO COST for this program! So do yourself and/or your loved ones a favor and sign up! And remember, although this program was designed with seniors in mind, they strongly encourage everyone to participate because anybody can become ill or injured at any time.
