No, not the Tony Soprano way. The Washington Post reports on an interesting and promising way to let emergency workers know who in your cell phone contact list they should call if something happens to you — simply add ICE (In Case of Emergency) to the person’s name in the list. Not foolproof, or reliable, but it’s apparently getting a lot of attention as a quick-and-easy way to maybe help a paramedic figure out more quickly who they need to contact (especially if you’re in the majority of people who don’t bother carrying around emergency contact info).
