Medical Alert 17

I finally got my dad a medical alert system after he insisted he didn't need one. It's just a small pendant he can press if he falls or gets hurt—like that time he slipped in the garden and couldn't get up for twenty minutes. The service connects directly to emergency dispatchers, not some call center halfway across the country. It costs about a dollar a day, which feels reasonable for the peace of mind. My mom calls it the 'gadget,' and she's learning to keep hers on the nightstand too.
