I wear one. Like it was said better safe than sorry. Not to mention you never know when they might come in handy, such as if your simple partial begins to effect you on an airplane, hopefully if a medical alert is visable they wont think you're nuts and will have medical help instead of security waiting for you. :D I know, I'm so optimistic.
I don't put my meds on the bracelet or necklaces I have, because they can always change. I put my name, and my doctors names and numbers on them, as well as what it is I have. If nothing else, they make me feel safer.

Better to be safe than sorry as they say. or at least carry a card in your wallet with information on your condition and medications.
