Why do they give me a wristband in the emergency room (ER)?

A wristband with your name, date of birth, date of admission, and hospital identification number will be applied in the emergency room (ER), if not already done at triage. Some hospitals apply a second “Allergy Alert” band if you have any allergies. You may be asked to verify the information on the ID band by initialing it before it is put on your wrist.

Ask to have the wristbands placed on your dominant arm because if you need an intravenous line (IV), you’ll want the IV in your non-dominant arm. Remember, an identification bracelet is applied with your safety in mind. Don’t remove it.

And don’t let anyone else wear it. Once you leave the hospital, the bracelet should be cut up and destroyed like you would an old credit card.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
