Summer camp season is approaching and as a parent and physician, we are getting our children ready to go away for a few weeks to sleep away camp. There is a free service for parents with children going to summer camp with medical problems, conditions, medications and allergies. It is a free service and allows parents to easily set up a record of their child's medications, allergies or problems..so that if, while at camp, they were to get sick, this information would either be immediately accessible by camp nurses via the internet or the child can carry it with them in their wallet. In a true emergency this information would be invaluable, particulary with the number of increasing medical errors, medication cross-reactions and inadvertent allergic medical reactions. Having information at your fingertips for your child and his camp nurses is critically important. All parents in this situation should take advantage of this preventive free service at http://www.CampMedic.com
