Tattoos aren't only a fashion statement, but a way to save lives. People have been trading health bracelets with tattoos indicating what kind of health problems they have. For example, doctor Friedlander had a tattoo made saying "no CPR" in case his heart suddenly stops. Others have had tattoos saying they are diabetic. The purpose of medical tattoos are to show paramedics or doctors the health problems of people just in case of emergencies. Medical tattoos have been controversial; some doctors believe that paramedics won't take it seriously but others believe that tattoos would be great for people who frequently lose their medical jewelry. Dr. Saleh Aldasouqi said that regardless of what doctors think, they should at least be aware that people are starting to put they health problems and death wishes on their bodies.
Question:
Do you think that doctors should replace Medical Jewelry with Tattoos? If not, what would be a better alternative for people sharing their health problems & death wishes?
