Thank you!
I was a volunteer EMT with an ALS ambulance in a small rural community for 15 years. We are not as ignorant or under-trained as you make us out to be.
Actually, we handled and were better trained for a lot of situations that urban ambulances never worry about because they are only minutes from the hospital, rather than hours.
Checking for med-alert tags is standard procedure anywhere.
Your energy and time may be better spent on "educating" cyclist about the merits of proper identification, and wearing helmets.
