Remember how much better being a hockey goalie became when they finally got that helmet? Dealing with medical records is just like that – without the proper equipment, it can cause a headache or even knock out some teeth.
Let’s say you and your friends have gone on a float trip, a surge of water has flipped the raft and your closest friend hits his head. The EMTs are there but you realize that your friend’s phone has floated away; how will you tell the EMTs about his allergies or latest tests? You call your friend’s mom but in a panic, she cannot remember who his primary care physician (PCP) is, he hasn’t lived at home in years after all. You finally find out who your friend’s PCP is but they’re in a different time zone and the office is closed. Now your friend is the net and you’re a goalie without a helmet.
People want to avoid hassle, problems, and unnecessary burdens, especially during a medical emergency, but those are exactly what the pucks are – they represent the runaround, processing times, and costs. With a helmet you can focus on securing the net. Duck Hunts Records will give people control of their medical records and connect their medical teams, I hope it will be the helmet for everyone.
