Doctors back plan to store medical info under your skin Tue Jun 26, 9:38 AM ET

CHICAGO (AFP) - Doctors could soon be storing essential medical information under the skin of their patients, the American Medical Association says.

Devices the size of a grain of rice that are implanted with a needle could give emergency room doctors quick access to the records of chronically ill patients, the nation's largest doctors group said in a report.

The association adopted a policy Monday stating that the devices can improve the "safety and efficiency of patient care" by helping to identify patients and enabling secure access to clinical information.

But the question is this, would all hospitals have that type of computer technology to be able to access the infomation, sounds kind of creepy to me...:blink:
 
So, after we start putting our medical info under our skin, should we start micro-chipping our kids, just like some people do to their pets? You know, in case they ever get lost or something.

Lojacking people is never a popular idea.
