That works fine as long as there is someone to check wallet. I found hard way that this doesn't always happen. About 5 years ago I had medical emergency which left me paralyzed into a train.
I boarded a train in Helsinki, got medical emergency after passing Tikkurila (about 15 mins journey, after ticket inspection), missed meeting three hours later and was picked up by ambulance in Suonenjoki five hours after leaving Helsinki. Nobody noticed anything unusual. Propably thinked that I'm sleeping
very well.
Now I have my medical information inside metal wristband in hopes that someone counts 1+1 if this happens again.
