I live and work in the Last Frontier(Alaska). I love it!!!!...BUT...The people that come up on vacation drive me nutz....They forget their meds, past medical hx, why they take what medication, ect, ect. Then they get angry with us because we cannot "access that information on the computer" even though they are from....whatever state they are from. Why do these usually intelligent individuals leave their brains at home?ummm...think Carry a list of meds, past hx,ect. with you when you travel, it makes perfect sense...At least to me...Not all the travelers are like that...But a surprising number "forget".:trout: We get a LOT of tourist in for simple things like fish hook removal (wear safety glasses and a hat) but we frequently get MIs and CVAs along with MVCs du jour. WE NEED TO KNOW YOUR MEDS AND HX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not psycic(psyco maybe) and do not know you...
Just out of curiosity....Is Alaska the only place this happens?
