Your doctor is not in casualty is he if you get took to there as an emergency .. Plus what happens if you dont have a broken leg .. you are being treated by your doctor for a stroke .. and if you have a heart attack down town .. what happens then ...

In such an emergency I would hope that they wouldn't waste time typing on a keyboard to access a system which might be 'down' - what then? wait for reconnection?
Persons in your situation carry a bracelet with important health info, don't they?

before you take it- you are gambling with your life
