Are medi-alert bracelets recognised in South-East Asia? Vietnam and Thailand
Hi All,
I’m travelling with my wife to south east Asia, in particular to Vietnam and Thailand. My wife has a fairly severe allergy to penicillin. I have suggested that it might be a good idea for her to wear one of those medical alert bracelet. My question is though, would an emergency medic in Vietnam or Thailand recognise the symbol and know further investigation was needed?
We are planning to ride motorcycles, therefore the risk of us both being knocked off and potentially incapacitated is present. If we were not riding motorcycles, then at least I would be around in the event of my wife being injured to inform medical personnel.
I hope that this makes sense. Thank you in advance for the responses.
