John, in the past when we've discussed this, some tissue valvers chose not to purchase any extra ID, and others still wanted the ID to provide medication and physician info. It's your call.

I, too wear a medic alert bracelet. After I found that the aortic stenosis was severe and the doc wanted to 'wait' for my surgery I decided to purchase one. It says 'severe aortic valve stenosis'. I feel more secure knowing that if I 'pass out', the explanation for this is on the bracelet and they will know who to contact. 
Good for you, Wanda.
I've had young, inexperienced paramedics show up here and I was glad that I could still speak and had my ID as backup.

What do you want Duffster? I've found some gold ones that are like $100.
Duff, you can also buy the standard medic alert bracelet and have the metal ID emblem part inserted into another bracelet or strap of your choosing. I'm thinking about having a second one with my own choice of beads. I have lots of beading supplies.
Ross, for $100 you will only get gold "plate"?
