[Grovenet] 3¢ worth of "ICE" from Hoss

[Alan Domenghini]

Dear All.....
I got this early this morn from a friend who thought it was a good idea,
as I do.
This is a great concept.  Until this becomes universal, you might get
a Paramedic that has received this email. 
ICE..........
We all carry our mobile phones with names and numbers stored in its
memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers
belong to our closest family or friends. 
If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people
attending us would have our mobile phone, but wouldn't know who to call.
Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored, but which one is the contact
person in case of an emergency? Hence this "ICE" (In Case of Emergency)
Campaign. 
The concept of "ICE" is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact
during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by the majority
of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact
person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the
name "ICE" (In Case Of Emergency). 
The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to
the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients,
but they didn't know which number to call. He therefore thought that it
would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this
purpose. In an emergency situation, emergency service personnel and
hospital staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by
simply dialing the number you have stored as "ICE." For more than one
contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3, etc. A great idea that
will make a difference! 
Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our mobile
phones today! 
Please forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before everybody
will know about this. It really could save your life, or put a loved
one's mind at rest. 
ICE will speak for you when you are not able to!
