I didn’t realize how far the Amish still live. You are so right about their cooking. Ugh. They have a really good restaurant we go to. I feel like a stuffed pig when we leave there. Someone did mention to be careful when you do buy pies from them because most of them do not refridgerate their eggs. (shiver)

You know I was thinking the same thing about why have this bracelet on them. BUT once they do get into the E.R. they can inject there. The E.R. has the meds. I can see how an EMT does not. They can only carry so many drugs. BUT I can see some making special exceptions if a CAH patient is in their area and keep something in their medic bag. I was told to contact the person that carries the medic bag on emergency runs. (can you hear the hillbilly banjo music playing in the back ground as I describe our local EMT program?) Scary huh? But I guess they get the job done. I will give them that respect. Like Cassy said about that similar drug. As long as it is hydrocortisone, it would work. Some do carry that form. That is what I was told by our medic. But they would NEVER inject something they found in her medic bag. That just blows me away. I wonder if that is the case for diabetics also. I imagine so. I mean the law is the law. I can see if something went wrong when your child was with an EMT and they used your meds. and something just happened to go wrong. Anyone can say the drug they used was expired, or we don’t use that anymore ect. I always keep the prescription on the Solu Cortef in the emergency bag. Even if they can’t use it, perhaps the E.R. could follow directions. PLUS that is what the Medic Alert bracelet is for. To give instructions in case of an emergency.
