Is the AMD valid in other states? Is it a federal level thing?
Maybe message @caravanfan and ask him about doctors checking the medical information in the phone thing. It might have changed over the years as you pointed out. I asked here years ago. It might very well vary by region or by who is in charge of the medical system in a location.
Regarding contacts in the phone, that’s the thing, my sister and husband’s phone number are on the medical app as emergency contacts, so they both are visible without a password.
In my contacts, my husband is listed as Husband Firstname Lastname, and my sister is Sister Firstname Lastname and both are in my favorites. So, even if they get access to my contact list from unlocking my phone, they can see the relation.
I typed out all of the medical information that I had stored in my phone and gave copies to my husband, a friend, and my sister. I have never seen a doctor’s chart that is 100% accurate about me and my medications and needs. I figure if I’m in the hospital unable to speak there is a good chance things will fall through the cracks. @LuckyGuy is really making me think I might want a medical bracelet. I’ve thought about it for years.
