Some kind of scheme could also be useful for people who're survivors of certain types of abuse, where sensitivity in certain medical procedures might be prudent to avoid exacerbation of symptoms/flashbacks etc, but that's kind of in a different league, really.

I think thats a very valid point... i had to go to hosp after an od i'd dissociated for 3 hours which was when i took it... i was assaulted on the same day... and was bleeding badly from sensitive areas.. due to the od id taken they had to try and control the blood flow as it was an hour journey at rush hour to the hosp so they actually tried to remove clothing... both were male and i completely freaked out which put my health in jeopardy i wound up being strapped to the trolly thing which made it worse as i need to have freedom of my hands... but ofcourse they didnt know of my ptsd... Also similar incident whilst i was in hospital when i flashbacked... nurses told me to stop being silly and got annoyed at the mess id made... i couldnt defend myself because of how high my fear was but if they'd known it might have been more useful. Likewise my anxiety can cause my bloodpressure to reach to dangerous levels so if they knew that they could keep an eye on that. So i may actually invest in one of them.... i think thats a valid point i wouldnt have thought of that alone.
