Momcat - all my medical records are on computer and I'm thankful for that. If I were to be taken unconsious to the emergency department of the local hospital they could instantly pull up all my medical history, medications I am taking and any allergies I may have. If I see a specialist, they report back to my doctor via computer. This is especially important for my husband who has a number of life threatening medical conditions where time would be of the essence if there was an emergency.
