Would be fine if we carried them with us at all times (maybe on the smart card stapled to our body, or perhaps an under-skin implant - though you wouldn't want to enter a hospital without the body part that contained the chip or card).

I'd prefer to see medical information in a place where it can be accessed by those who need to see it, with my direct or implied consent.

If I get wheeled into a medical facility in some outpost in an uncommunicative state, I'd hope that they had all relevant history before taking any action.
