For adults:

1. All medications.

2. List of allergies, surgeries other medical conditions.

3. Legal documents (including driver’s license, Medical Power of Attorney, living will, etc).

4. Primary care physician’s name and number.

5. Insurance cards as well as prescription cards if you have them.

For children:

1. Pediatrician’s name and number.

2. Immunization records.

3. List of child’s medications, allergies, surgeries, etc.

4. Favorite toy, book or other small item for entertainment while waiting.
