In the article, Mr. Prepared™ notes “108,000 people last year ended up dying from preventable medical errors, which, is the fifth leading cause of death in America.  Over 93% of those deaths could have been prevented if the victim had been carrying their emergency medical information on their person.”

Mr. Prepared™ continued, “Over 95% of emergency responders know to look for this kind of important information when treating a victim unable to communicate – crucial personal data such as what you might be allergic to, what your blood type is, what medication you currently take, if you’re diabetic and your doctor and insurance company information.  This card is simply a must-have for everyone!”
