Wal Mart does away with , "Vials of Life" program.

We used to get the medical information forms and vials to store them in from WalMart. You may recall that the system calls for the homeowner to store vital medical information in a tube and put it in their freezer and to place a placard on their door saying they use the vial of life system.

If an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) has to visit the home during an emergency they know to check the freezer for that information which affects how he/she will treat their patient.

Jacky Thomas (my boss otherwise known as my wife) has called everywhere looking for a new source. If you know of one please let us know.

Meanwhile, if you happen to be at WalMart thank them for their considerate donation in the past and express your opinion of their doing away with this vital program.
