An observation about jewelry
I realized something today. We watch a lot of television in this house. Over the years hubby and I have watched a number of shows that feature a medical setting (like ER and House), shows that feature people having medical problems and law shows that touch upon medical issues. I’ve searched my brain and I don’t recall seeing people on any of these shows ever wearing medical jewelry. Don’t you think in real life at least a few people would have been wearing a bracelet or something? I’m just curious. Have you ever seen medical jewelry worn on television?
Hi there,
I saw your question about medical IDs and their use on television, and much like their understated use in real life, medical IDs are not very prominent in medical-oriented television shows. However, they have made an appearance occasionally. I work for a company that creates and manufactures them and ours have been seen on several shows, including Crossing Jordan and ER (the episode with James Woods, who wore one). It was actually a very well written placement, as he portrayed a former professor who was suffering from a degenerative disease, and his caregiver made him wear it “in case she was not there in an emergency.”
