Do You Have An Emergency Contact Person? For Those, Alone, Would You Consider Creating A List Here On My HIV Team In Case Of An Emergency?
Here on my HIV team, we have had members for as long as 5 to 7 years. Unfortunately through the years ,some of the members have passed and gone on. During these hard times , it's invaluable to have someone whom you can call if you need help or a medical emergency.
No, unfortunately, I don't have an emergency contact person. I'm estranged from my family. As far as my kids, I don't want to burden them with anything, that's why I don't have them listed as emergency contacts.

Have you thought of anything?
If this is something that we want to do, I suppose we should see how many are interested before proceeding?
I just requested a medical bracelet because I suffer from thyroid and pituitary disease. I can faint so I need to carry hydrocortisone on me at all times.
Yes this is a great idea. You guys are a great support to me on here. I would welcome a call or email if I suddenly stopped posting for awhile.
I have 2 people for my emergency contact list.
Now the idea of having a team member as emergency contact is not a bad idea with some caveats namely trust and location
