The Alcor wallet card is really not good enough; it needs work. The only 
large print on the "outside" of the card says, in red type less than a
quarter-inch tall, "URGENT INSTRUCTIONS INSIDE." There is no medic-
alert or other symbol, and no text relating to medical emergencies
or death. In other words, there's nothing here to alert a hurried
emergency worker that this card concerns *him*.

I've added a large red note to mine: "IN CASE OF MEDICAL EMERGENCY -
READ!"

I'd like to see Alcor re-work this card completely. It should have
a very prominent notice designed to attract the attention of a 
hurried emergency worker. When it's folded for a wallet, this
notice should appear on BOTH SIDES of the card, with the fine print
inside. If that makes the card too big, put in another fold!

This card is the single cheapest piece of lifesaving equipment
that Alcor offers. There's room for improvement.
