Just wondering how many have their kids carry their medical information on them, meaning: date/type of surgery, length of fusion, ortho surgeon, etc., in the event of an accident? And for those that travel by school bus for school activities, do you know for sure this information is kept with a person in charge?
After hearing of a couple of recent accidents involving kids at a fellow school
it seems that may not always be the case. While there were medical release forms to treat in an emergency, there wasn't any history with it. It made me realize that just because the school may be aware of my son's surgery I can't assume things like this will be taken care of.
Anyway, something I was thinking about and hadn't seen any discussion about.
