It’s just that sort of “weeding out” that Canada’s laws prohibiting asking certain questions on job applications, were designed to cover. If employers are specifically forbidden from asking certain questions, then they can’t use the information to week out future “problem” employees.
As for the issue of meds doses on MedicAlert, that’s where the contact info for your doctors comes in. If the MedicAlert file says, “CALL DR. _____________,” then any emergency personnel can get the current information on medicines and dosages from him/her.
I think the issue is that people don’t keep their MedicAlert info on meds totally up to date, especially since meds can change frequently. This is especially true of long-time MedicAlert members who paid a one-time-only, lifetime membership fee. A few years ago, MedicAlert changed to an annual-fee system, but those with lifetime memberships were allowed to keep them…but have to pay a $15 fee every time they update their information. New members on the annual-membership system pay $45 a year, but get free updates.
