Emergency Phone Number

Do u know wat is an Emergency Phone Number?

It is the phone number of someone close to u that others can contact in times of emergency. For eg, if u are walking on a street and suddenly faint...passersby can send u to the hospital but they will not be able to contact ur family unless u have an Emergency Phone Number on u tat they can easily find.

Some who have medical history/conditions might be familiar with such incidents and do carry their very own medical cards about.

Why am I talking abt this topic out of the blue?

Well, I had the worst case of chest pain/heartburn...or watever u call it.....this afternoon at work. It is basically a sharp pain at ur chest and it comes and go in periods (the pain tend to make me become the "Hunchback of Notre Dame" as I will hunch myself to contain the pain in my chest). Then, u will feel that there is air in ur chest and will try to burp it out.

Anyway, my chest pain lasted a full hour and thereafter the pain became lighter but still existent. So, I cancelled my yoga lesson (T_T.....sorry Yogi....I did wana attend ur class...) and headed home. On my way to the MRT station, I felt the pain again and it left me tired and breathless. At this point, a thought fleeted thru my head - "Wat if I suddenly faint or fall unconscious due to the pain?"....sure I have my ID and handphone with me but with so many phone numbers inside...how would anyone know who to contact in case of emergency? Although I have my HOME number inside, wat if there is no one at home when something happens?

Weird that I have such thoughts...but then it alerted me that I should store a few emergency phone numbers in my handphone that appear as the 1st few numbers in the handphone phonelist! At least then pple can scroll down ur phonelist and find the Emergency Phone Numbers immediately.

So, how abt storing an Emergency Phone Number in ur handphone as well?
