Cell Phone ICE
The scene 9 months ago:
Dilon, Montana, just setting up in the park (Only 6 RV's) and heard someone screaming help. Long story short, an Rv'er by himself had a sezure, unconciious and ambulance got him to hospital. Three hours later police show back up asking questions if anyone knew him. No wallet and police searched the rv for information. They didn't find any.
Skip to Present:
Talking with two County Emergancy people here at home and told the sad story about him.
The Responce: He didn't have "ICE" in his cell phone. Seems the new thing is, because most everyone carries a cell phone, they should put a Contact Name "ICE" in. (In Case Of Emergancy). The paramedics or police now look in cell phones first for who to call. Put your wife/husband's number in or even a doctors number.
If you need to, put ICE1 and/or ICE2 if needed, as they are now calling each to gain or give information.
My understanding is this is one of the new simple things emergancy people are being trained to look for when on scene.
I hope my long post could help a RV forum member in the future.
Regards
Randy

I agree. That's a great tip. We've done it on ours also.

Here is another thought...
http://www.roadid.com/Common/default.aspx
You can get a bracelet, dog tags or a tag for your shoe. Supposedly, the Paramedics know about Road ID and can call in and retrieve your info.
I dont have it, yet, but my brother does, and has the dog tags.

We entered ICE numbers in our phones right after we got them. The thought is just in case. Now I understand more about the reasoning.

There is an "app" for that, at least for Android based phones. In addition to putting in your contacts, you can also record name, address, DOB, blood type, medications, allergies etc. There's probably one for the iPhone/iPad as well.

Phil, I wonder if we can go to a veterinarian's office and get a chip installed?
Until then I have ICE'd our cellphones.

Not me Art, Have you seen the size of that needle they use to inject? When we had Villa chipped we had to put her out it hurt so much. You go ahead and let me know how it feels. Then we'll get OZZ to try it.........LOL

My Husky didn't cry like a baby Lab does and she didn't need anything. She just sat there with a smile on her face. Good Miya!
As for ICE, I also have had it installed for a few years for 3 or 4 phones. However, I preceded the word ICE with a special character, like - or = or + or % (you get the idea), because then it shows up in your phone directory as the first set of listings, so in my case it is =ICE Home, then =ICE Mobile Cell, then =ICE Son.
Good idea to have "ICE."
(Especially for drinks)
