MY LIFE LOG, A Medical and Personal Diary, can help provide valuable information for doctors and prevent medical errors in treatment and diagnosis. Doctors are like detectives. The more clues they have, the quicker they can diagnose their patient’s problems. A patient who has kept a personal health diary that includes their family medical history and makes that information available to healthcare providers is being pro-active in their own healthcare.

The Medical Health Journal that can Save your Life
MY LIFE LOG, a Medical and Personal Diary, is designed to encourage its user to collect personal health data as well as family medical history. It's ideal to start a health journal at the birth of a child, entering all their pertinent newborn information, including immunizations.
Medical errors are reported to cause at least 44,000 deaths each year in the United States and possibly twice that many! Steps are being taken to improve those numbers through the 2006 National Patient Safety Goals, but you, or a family member, can help avoid becoming a “medical error” patient through the proper use of My Life Log.
In addition, there are over 4,000 inheritable diseases. What do you know about your family health history? It could help give doctors clues to check for specific diseases and save valuable time. If you don't know anything about health problems that others in your family have experienced, is it too late to find out? There’s no time like the present to get in touch with aging family members who will take this information with them to the grave.
Here's the deal . . .doctors are not psychics nor magicians. We need to regard ourselves as their partners in our healthcare. Give your doctors an accurate history of your medical past and an accurate list of medications currently being taken. It is so important to have these things written down and with you at all times! Just by filling out and keeping an updated Emergency Medical Information Card (free with your copy of My Life Log) you will give Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and emergency room physicians a head start. Are you aware that emergency room personal refuse to give patients medications if they know nothing about their allergies and other medications they may be taking? There are exceptions to this rule but they will send a friend or relative to the patient’s home to gather up every medication bottle they find and bring them back to the hospital.
What if you’re on vacation and need medical assistance or in an auto accident and are unconscious? Just by having our bright yellow Emergency Medical Information Card in your wallet you could save your life. Again, the emergency personnel can waste a lot of valuable time trying to gather important information about you. They don't want to give you a drug that might interact with something you're already taking. If you have a special condition such as diabetes or a heart problem, it's critical that they know about it.
My Life Log is thoughtfully designed to be useful and endure throughout the owner's lifetime. My Life Log, a Medical and Personal Diary, its matching blank companion Journal and the slipcase that will hold two books, are covered in bonded leather or a leather-like covering.
