All of you NOW - put your ICE in your mobile

[PeckhamRose]

I was teaching medics the other day and many of them knew of and had their ICE* on their mobiles.

Most doctors and nurses can't do First Aid.

But some can and many of us can and have trained and re-train regularly.

So I want you to imagine this for a moment.

You're in a crash and you can't talk. How am I going to find out who I should call for you, after I have called an ambulance.

Answer: I find your mobile and look up ICE.

In

Case of

Emergency.

(then the number)

Do it now.

Just type ICE, then the number.

Thank you.

I've use ICE for years. Very useful.

So have I - thank god never been used at all - I'm not sure I want it to be 'useful', rather, at the end of my life 'what a complete waste of time that was!

I have a pin number on my mobile - i'm done for :(

[PeckhamRose]

Well you never know what is going to happen.

So if you think someone will care if you don't come home, how would you like me (or any first aider) to find out how to contact your next of kin or best mate or someone, should I find you collapsed in the street or in an accident.

Work it out, then sort it out. Just In Case!
