About Me

My photo
My wife & I were able to put University of Michigan & Michigan State rivalry aside. We have been married for 44 years, have 4 children and 9 grandchildren. I was an active Rotarian. I ran my own sales company for a number of years. Customers were here & overseas. I felt fortunate to have had both Ford & Mercedes as customers.

What happens if lightening, or something else, causes your power to be out & normal telephone service is not available?

Not to worry, the System has its own power back up System that will keep your System active until normal power is restored..

What happens if you have a medical emergency and you can't speak? Patent Pending encoding in the Medical Emergency Response System gives your address to the 911 Operator as soon as the connection is made. You don't need to say a word.

What happens if I'm unable to open the door for Paramedics and there is no one else at home with me at that moment? Paramedics will have immediate access if there already is one of the Company's newly designed Lock Boxes on your front door handle. We'll be giving more information on this in future Posts.

Keep in mind that Firemen will make sure Paramedics have immediate access. They'll break through a window or knock down a door so they do. Replacement is expensive: over $300.
With this System, you communicate via the Pendent rather than through a base unit, the way competitive Systems do. This means you are not restricted to staying within 50 feet of the base unit to make sure your Emergency call will be received. You can be anywhere in a typical house & even outside and get connected to 911 immediately.

The Pendent is the world's smallest cellphone. You want to keep it close to you at all times: on the lanyard, kept in the wrist strap or carried in the belt clip. All three are included.

It's 1.9 Gegahertz DECT technology assures the user of superb voice quality.

You don't need a professional installer. Just plug the Base wire into an existing telephone jack. Or, plug the base & telephone wires into the splitter and plug the splitter into the telephone jack. Press the Button on the Pendent when there is an emergency and be connected directly to 911 or 3 other choices.

We've covered a number of medical emergencies that Medical Emergency Systems get Paramedic help on the way very quickly. We feel privileged to be able to offer 2 on our website, from a Company that offers important new features that competition does not offer.

Competition charges a monthly fee of $29.95 per month. Many require a Contract for 3 years. I don't think this is very important for anyone for anyone who is considering getting a Medical Emergency System. Why,you buy it to help you live Independently for as many more years as posible. A hospital Case Management person, told me that several patients who have had to become a patient again in their Hospital have been using them for 15 years or more. That's an outlay of over $5,000. You buy ours for $279.95 and it's yours forever, without any additional fees. I'll be giving you some of these important technological advances in future Posts.

Here's something else that can happen. Yet, we do not prepare ourselves for it. I'm talking about Falling.

Who would believe that Falls are the leading cause of accidental death for Seniors? I hadn't even considered this could be something that could happen to me. You can imagine my surprise when I ran across an Article in the Center of Disease Control that said that Seniors are hospitalized for fall related injuries 5% more often than they are hospitalized for all other injuries combined. Falls are the leading cause of death for Seniors.

An article in the New England Journal of Medicine went even farther.
50% of people who fall will require assistance to get up. 90% who get it within 1 hour will continue to Independent Living; but only 10% will be able to live Independently after that.

What happens if you have a Medical Emergency and it's interfered with your ability to speak? With the System I'm presenting, you just press the Button on the Pendent. It will give your address to the 911 Operator as soon as the connection is made, thanks to Patent Pending encoding.

Let me back up.

Most people accept that anyone with a heart condition should have a Medical Emergency Response System. Are there other important reasons? Yes, unfortunately very few people anticipate them. I'm going to give you some so you won't get caught short.

You have an emergency that needs Paramedic help. There's a heavy storm moving through your area and you can't reach 911 because your normal telephone service is not available. The Medical Emergency Response System I'll be talking about has its own built in power back up to keep the System active until normal telephone service is restored.

If you've been following my Posts, you know I have alerted you to a number of Medical Emergency situations. Many of you are like I was: "It'll never happen to me!"

They have happened, not to me; but to my wife and a close friend.

My wife has a medical situation that is progressive. We've had time to get the Medical Emergency Response equipment & other items in place before they were needed. You should too!

I will be presenting Emergency situations & helpful solutions to them.

What are the first things that Paramedic & Emergency Room personnel ask you:
What medications are you taking?
Are you allergic to any medications?
Do you have any allergies?
Have you been treated by a Doctor within the last six months? If so, for what?
Who would you like us to notify?

Do you have all this information at your fingertips? There is a solution. And, we'll be covering it.

We live in an area that has frequent summer storms that knock out normal telephone service for hours, sometimes days. My experience suggests that few Seniors have cell phones. Thus, they would be unable to contact 911 if they had a Medical Emergency.

Did you happen to see the Distractional 101 Segment on The Today Show?

Meredith Vieira was filmed driving in a Simulator. She moved up to within 3 car lengths of the car ahead when she was "Texted", took her eyes off the road and was headed for a crash when filming stopped. Her reaction confirmed the Presenter's opening statement that the braking time for someone Texting or Talking on the Cell Phone while driving is 4 times slower braking than a Driver who isn't.

I'm sure you are a good Driver; but that doesn't mean you won't be clobbered by a Driver who is talking on the Cell Phone or Texting.

I was so impressed by the segment that I bought a 7 minute copy of the Segment. I'd be glad to show it to you via computer using "Go To Meeting", if you're interested.

6th Repeat - My Posts connect. You'll see why I think it's important that everyone follow from the starting gate very soon.

Can you image the panic someone must feel if they're having a Medical Emergency and they can't speak? There is a Medical Emergency Response System that gets Paramedics rolling when someone is having a Medical Emergency & can't speak to a 911 Operator.

Post a comment, if you want more information on this. I'll be glad to give you more information.

5th Repeat

If it hadn't been for my wife's fall, I probably wouldn't have paid attention to the following statistics.

Seniors are hospitalized 5 times more often than they are for other injuries from all other causes. FALLS ARE THE LEADING CAUSE OF ACCIDENTAL DEATH FOR SENIORS.(Center FOR Disease Control)
50 % of People who fall require assistance from someone else to get them up. After a fall, or other emergency, 90% of people who get help within one hour will continue independent living; but after 12 hours, without help, only 10% will continue to live at home. (New England Journal of Medicine)

Post 4 repeat.

Have you ever experienced a Medical Emergency? My wife did several years ago. She had fallen in the bathroom. Her head was bleeding. She couldn't get up.

We have a Medical Emergency Response System. She was able to press the button on the Pendent she wears whenever I'm away. The 911 Operator answered immediately & started Paramedics & Firemen on their way to her. A neighbor was able to give Paramedics the combination to the lock box we have on our door so there was no need for Firemen to break down our door.

We had family with us why the re-post of 3 is late.

As my wife's disability increased, we began to prepare for Emergencies. Emergencies just happen. They come without warning.

We did several things: installed a Medical Emergency Response System and put a Lock Box on our front door. It's a good thing we did! Both have been used.

This is the 2nd Repeat - 4 more to go

You would never have known that my wife had Multiple Sclerosis if you met her when we were married. I've told you it was Progressive. Some years later she found she needed a cane. I can still remember the tears that welled up as she walked up the sidewalk on our way to our Church's 11:00 Service. As time went on, the cane was replaced with a 3 wheel walker that was later replaced with an electric scooter that has now been replaced with an electric wheelchair.

Some of you saw this beginning Post; however most have not, so we're starting over to maintain the flow. My thought was & is that a few things that are not in my Profile may be of interest to you.

1st - A lot of people now use eHarmony & other computer services to meet people they might share interests with and might or might not move on to marriage. My wife & I were some of the early ones.

She was divorced with 2 children and a cat,more about the cat later, living in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. I was a bachelor living in St. Louis, Missouri, I hadn't met anyone I wanted to propose too yet. She read an article in the Detroit Free Press about a new way to meet people you'd like to meet. She acted on it. I read an article in the Wall Street Journal about the same idea. The Program was being run by the University of Michigan's Research Center. I graduated from Michigan. I decided it was worth trying. The rest is history.
