Since no one programs the word "husband" or "sibling" into a cell phone, rescue workers can waste precious time sifting through a patient´s phone book in cases of emergency.  British paramedic Bob Brotchie may have found a solution.  Brotchie helped launch a national campaign to get fellow Brits to add the acronym "ICE" (for "in case of emergency") before the name of their closest friend or relative (for backups, use ICE1 and ICE2).  Now it is catching on in America.  Matt Levy, a U.S. director at the International Association of EMTsEMTs and Paramedics, says to make sure your contacts know your medical conditions, allergies and what medications you´re on.  For more information, go to icecontact.com.EMTsEMTs and Paramedics, says to make sure your contacts know your medical conditions, allergies and what medications you´re on.  For more information, go to .
