Useful maybe?

Saw a short article in news suggesting a new use for redundant tax disc holders to hold details of drivers medication and conditions. That seems a good idea to me, particularly for warfarin or NOAC users. A bad bleed does worry me slightly, being on Warfarin myself.

Yes, good idea - I've been considering putting something in the car as I've just had a moderate bleed! Perhaps with a medic alert sticker on the inside?

What if someone else was driving the car though :-( . I wear a wrist band, and nobody else borrows it.

Done it.! If somebody else was driving then they would still get good treatment. If they thought that person was on warfarin it would not be detrimental for their treatment.
