case meant launching the Foundation dur
ing evenings and over weekends.
He talked with doctors, police officials,
nurses and health organizations who all
agreed some standard, infallible, method of
identification was long overdue. But they
also warned that the hurdles facing him
seemed too high to clear. The bracelet
would be too small to carry any detailed
medical records so essential in many cases.
Medical people and police would have to
recognize the bracelet instantly. And finally,
launching the project would take large
staff, months of work, and a considerable
investment because costs to wearers would
have to be nominal.
The doctor goes into 0esion
DIR. Collins listened to these hard facts
and moved ahead He mapped out system
for filing complicated medical records at the
hospital where nurses could answer emer-
gency telephone calls and give out vital
information at any hour. Bulletins describ-
ing the bracelet and its meaning would be

all state police forces, and municipal police
departments in every city with more than
10000 population, also all sheriffs and
Canadian Mounties.
He would finance the Foundation with
his own funds. Christine, his wife, would
do the clerical work and handle all CORES
pondence. Tommy, their l2-year-old son
and the last of four children still at home,
would be bookkeeper and order filler. DR..
Collins sister would be travelling promo
tional representative. James, his brother,
could handle his patients when Foundation
work and displays at medical conventions
took him out of town. The Collins home
would serve as headquarters.
For the next few nights he sat at type
writer, pecking out copy for pamphlets and
bulletins. Then the whole family tackled
the chore of addressing and stufing en-
velopes so printed announcements would

departments.
Special dies for manufacturing bracelets
and neck medallions cost 5000. A month
later, armed with few dozen silver amulets
and stacks of literature, DR.. Collins set up
display booth at the 1856 American Col
lege of Surgeons convention in San Fran
cisco to announce his project to the medical
profession. Hundreds of delegates left the
meeting armed with Medic-Alert literature
to spread among colleagues and patients
back home.
Exhausted but elated, DR.. Collins went
home to Turlock. And two days later, trag-
edy struck. A sharp chest pain jolted him
awake in the early morning hours. The pain
shot down his back and left arm, undeniable
symptoms of coronary occlusion.
A clinic colleague gave him choice he
already knew. Slow down or risk death.
''If quit now," he teld his wife, Medic
Alert is Dead
His fateful decision was soon rewarded
when letters from doctors, police chiefs and
hospital administrators flooded the Turlock
post Office. Among them was bracelet
order for a Miami epileptic, sent by patrol
man who had mistakenly jailed the man as
a drunk.
The Fight pays OF
Once this initial impact waned, the doc
tor discovered his Foundation had hum
dreds of professional enthusiasts but only
few members. He knew the lifetime men,
bership fee and SIS for bracelet and COM
plete medical history listing could not be
lowered without completely draining his
finances. The main problem was in reach
ing potential wearers.
Instead of becoming discouraged, he
poured more time and money into promot-
ing the Foundation among doctors and
health organizations. Weary from main
tanning his own practice at the same time,
he gulped down daily doses of aminophyl-
line to ease the strain on his damaged heart.
Orders for memberships began trickling
in again and then letters of different
nature started arriving. The first was from
a Portland, Ore, epileptic telling how a
passer-by stopped when he was stricken on
a street corner, saw the bracelet, and sum-
moned an ambulance that brought an emer-
gency oxygen supply. A New York City
woman allergic to pencillin wrote how her
bracelet had stopped doctor from giving
her a shot of the 'antibiotic while she was
delirious with pneumonia.

And then came the experience (see
