"I am a
nurse, where a lady was admitted
very confused and unable to give
details of her next of kin."
I
bought the sos,
St
Christopher pendant, as a
present for my father who has
Alzheimer's disease.
I was
prompted to do this following an
incident at work,
I am a
nurse, where a lady was admitted
very c(onfused and unable to give
details of her next of kin.
it was very fortunate
both for ourselves and the
patient and her family that she
was wearing an sos talisman.
this simple piece of jewellery
quickly reunited the patient and
her family, and reduced added
distress to the patient.
It is
indispensible in a situati(on
where you are unable to give a
medical history saving valuable
time in an emergency situati(on.
The
product makes us as a family
more secure in the knowledge
that in the unfortunate event of
dad needing medical assistance
and being al(one, the
talisman alerts people to his
c(onditi(on and gives c(ontact
details for us. it is our extra
little safety net for
Dad,

"my
throat swells & I can't breath
properly. I carry at all times 3
Epipens which I need injecting
as so(on as the sting or bite
happens"
Every(one who knows me know why I
wear it & what it is for. I told
people what it was & the people
I spend time with how to open it
so they can show whoever needs
to see it if needs must.
I am allergic to stings & bites
so as you can imagine for me it
a comm(on occurrence to visit my
local casualty unit. That is
great as they all know me now &
understand what is wr(ong & what
they need to do straight away.
However, if it happens when i'm
not (on the Island then this
would cause a problem as I can't
tell them due to anaphylaxis.
This means my throat swells & I
can't breath properly. I carry
at all times 3 Epipens which I
need injecting as so(on as the
sting or bite happens, but,
whereas I cant talk the SOS
Talisman is BRILLIANT it has the
informati(on they need about me,
but I have put a quick easy step
descripti(on of how to inject me.
Plus I have put the meds which I
am given when I go to my local
A&E.
Also as my mother lives in Spain
I spend loads of time there, so
I have (one of the informati(on
strips in Spanish for when I'm
there.
