Ice Ice, baby.
Okay. Assuming you clicked here because you saw the story and wanted the extra info, let me get right to it.
How to ICE.. There was a shot of it off the top of the story.. but the web folks here haven't posted the video yet so let me write it down... Just create an entry in your address book that says ICE and if you want add a name after it like, "ICE John" and put John's phone number. It's that simple.
Let's say you don't have a cell phone so you have no way to ICE it. Well, just stick to the old fashioned pen and paper and keep the info in your purse or wallet. If you end up injured and can't talk, the paramedics or firefighters will root through your wallet or purse to find any information that will help tell them who to contact.
The doctor we interviewed today thinks it's a good idea to have the paper copy anyway, because he says those cell phones don't always make it through the high-speed serious crashes in the first place.
And the one additional item you should always have on you? A list of your medications, especially if you have allergies. That can really help out a trauma team, saving them time and, really, saving you time as well.
The doctor left me with one last note. He said we should take fewer risks in the sense that many of the people he sees in the ED (Emergency Department) are there because they were doing something maybe they shouldn't have been, or were the victim of someone else who was. Interesting thought that makes sense.
I'm anchoring the morning show all week, so by about Wednesday these blogs will probably make less sense than they already do (I'm not so good with the whole sleep deprivation thing). Here's what I ate for breakfast today:

It looks really gross, but I have to be honest with you when I say it was pretty tasty. Any guesses on what it is? Email me: sstricklen@kgw.com
