Medical Alert System Users Should Call and Verify

Thus says the article on Medical Alert Systems published in the Nov. 23rd issue of Kennebec Journal Online: people should call and verify the details if they are depending on Medical Alarms.

The story is very interesting and talks about a personal experience where while the person could not talk had pushed the panic button of the medical alert system, but the response on the other site was kind of controversial.

"I urge you to call your medical alert company and verify the names and telephone numbers of those you want notified -- a neighbor, relative, or to call an ambulance."

"Check what their policy is for requesting an ambulance. Find out now, as your life might depend on it. I am now depending on the 911 system."

People should very very careful and attentive if they rely on Medical Alert system for help.
