Are medical id bracelets tax deductible?

I bought a medical id bracelet to show allergies, diabetes and heart condition. Paid cash for it. Not covered by insurance.

If this is something prescribed by your physician, you can deduct it.  Doctors are often willing to prescribe this for patients who really need one to help diagnose medical condition if hospitalized or the conditions can cause a patient to become comatose.
