Neurosurgeon Dr. Joseph Maroon Explains How Information Saves Lives

In a critically ill patient, the immediate availability of a medical history may be lifesaving. I know. I have evaluated hundreds of unconscious patients in the emergency room.

I have also seen hours wasted and lives lost while waiting for invaluable medical information to be obtained from unavailable family members or friends.

A Very Special Heart™ eliminates that problem. Life threatening allergies of children and adolescents; cardiac and neurological conditions of adults; medication lists for all; contact information for family and much more are all available on a Very Special Heart™, which makes this information immediately accessible in any emergency room or critical care location.

For the child at school or camp; the loved one living alone; the athlete on a long run or bike ride; A Very Special Heart™ is the best medical insurance policy available.

I never leave home without mine.

Sincerely,

Joseph C. Maroon, MD
