Is it legal to speed if you have a medical emergency, your flashers are on and a white shirt is out the window

I heard this was true from someone who went to traffic school and was also told that is a cop saw this he would check to make sure your emergency was legit and escort you to the hospital or whereever needed.

But you still have to drive in a safe manner and not be totally out of control on this

A New Addition to the Medical Alert System

“Help, I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up!” We all recall this poor, helpless lady who used her emergency medical alert system to summon help in the time of need. Fortunately, she was able to receive help from an ambulance, and be transported to the hospital. But what happened to this frazzled woman when she arrived at the emergency room and was asked to recall her entire medical history, including medications? MedScope America Corporation, specializing in eldercare, is a company that has an answer to this question.

MedScope offers the medical alert system, and takes it one step further, by making customer’s medical information available online during an emergency. This is a great benefit for senior care.

The process is simple. Once a customer signs up for the medical alert system, they gain access to the Medical-Data Service. They can simply fill out the online form and print an ID card directly from MedScope’s website. By showing this ID card, physicians can log-in to view the patient’s complete medical profile. In an emergency situation, this service provides a patient’s complete medical profile within seconds, avoiding medical errors that are caused due to lack of information.

MedScope’s Medical-Data Service is included (free of charge) with a customer’s personal medical alert system. The Medical-Data Service was developed to assist in expediting treatment to patients in the midst of a medical emergency and to encourage independent living. All online information is fully encrypted and HIPAA compliant. A customer can log into their own information and make changes and updates as frequently as they wish.

The Medical-Data Service is especially beneficial when a independent living patient is unable to communicate, or when a knowledgeable family member is unavailable. This service fulfills a need for many older adults in need of eldercare in our communities, especially for a senior living alone or whose children live out of town. Through the use of the Internet, it can provide coverage for anyone, anywhere in the country.

Even newer to date, is the development of MedScope’s “Adaptive Technology”. Their latest undertaking has made the MedScope’s personal emergency alarm response service available to individuals with physical disabilities and impairments. An assortment of specialized medical alarm buttons, switches, and clamps allow MedScope to create custom-made medical alarm transmitters to suit anyone’s needs. As an example, a person with limited function can still benefit from a medical alert system by using MedScope’s Sip ‘N Puff Activator, which is a tube that clips onto one’s shirt or wheelchair. The consumer can simply turn their head and blow into the tube to activate the medical alert system.

All medical alarm equipment is loaned at no charge (Adaptive Technology fees may apply). The Data-Service is offered free of charge to all MedScope customers. There is no shipping or setup fees for equipment and no long-term contracts. The only cost incurred is a monthly monitoring fee of $35.

For more information about the benefits of MedScope’s services, call 1-800-645-2060, or log online at www.medscope.org
