I have one w/the Diabetes on it. Maybe I can just dremel the OSA on it?
I made a cute bracelet for it, I wasnt wearing it before because of the steel boring chain. So I decorated it!! Looks alot nicer with Swarovski Crystals!!

Regaring USB drives - I would be hesitant to use that method. I worked as an engineer installing hospital IT systems and usually the workstations are 'locked down' so that they cannot be misused, transmit computer viruses, etc, and a lot of times that includes disabling certain features like access to drives (not sure if it would apply to USB drives but I think so). This especially applies to computers located in the ER, which are never dedicated for one user, and therefore more likely to be locked down.

That's a good point I hadn't thought about that, and it makes lots of sense too.

I talked to my Dr. and he's writing a letter for me to apply to MedicAlert's Foundation for sponsored membership. I just hope that I can get the bracelet by my surgery.

Ebay sells simple tags for $2 thats good enough for me Im getting bright red and one for my keys and one for my diaper bag - I know Id never wear a bracelet of necklace so this is about as good as it gets and the tag will have anything important on it.

NOTE: the finish product looks better than the sample and if you print out multi copies put one on CPAP equipment when traveling with passport or all the wallets you have or any other items you be with when trouble strikes..... You might not be able to answer questions
