Re: June 27 news story.
The Denver Post wrote about problems police have with people having epileptic seizures. A man with a seizure battled police and was charged with second-degree assault. His family sued.
Letap give the police a break, folks. If people with problems would carry a medical ID, a lot of legal battles could be avoided. Medical suppliers or doctors can supply wrist or neck tags showing the medical problem. A company called RoadID sells tags that lace into shoes, or are for wrists and the neck.
I have worn RoadIDs on my shoes for years. I do not have a medical problem, but if I were hit by a car or passed out, first responders would immediately have my name, address, wife’s name, phone number, blood type. The tags cost about $25 and can be purchased at or by calling 800-345-6336.
