As a paramedic, if you can't remember your name, address, and social security number, we'll take you to the hospital but you probably won't get a bill. Unless you tell the hospital, then we'll get a face sheet. Stay Safe, John and Jane Doe.

So if the paramedics take me to the hospital for a broken leg or something... and I claim that I don't remember any of my identifying information, they'll just treat my leg and let me go? They won't keep me around to get to the bottom of my sudden amnesia?

Make up you name, address, and birthday and say you never memorized your social.

What if you have your ID on you?
