I went through something very similar, husband collapsed in bedroom, it was a life or death situation. I just handed the lead EMT his information on a card and they were gone. My husband survived. If the Emergency Dept has the information about the patient it saves hours of diagnosis.

Also, trying to read the numbers on houses in the middle of the night is very difficult for the ambulance. I went out in the street with a flash light and waved it around for them to see. I must have looked like a fool, but it was the middle of the night and no one mentioned it so I guess nobody saw me out there!
Super tip if only 10% of the people who read it will actually do it, you've saved many people !
