A word to the wise, whether you choose our medical alarm system or another, don't let you or your loved ones live without this modern communication system. Don't wait till the problem becomes larger than necessary. You will never have to live in fear that you can't get help...ever again... &lt;/p&gt;</content></entry><entry><link href="http://blog.seniorsafety.com/public/blog/95583" title="Do you automatically call emergency medical people when I signal for help?" rel="service.edit" type="application/x.atom+xml"/><link href="http://blog.seniorsafety.com/public/blog/95583" rel="alternate" title="Do you automatically call emergency medical people when I signal for help?" type="text/html"/><title mode="escaped" type="text/html">Do you automatically call emergency medical people when I signal for help?</title><id>http://blog.seniorsafety.com/public/blog/95583</id><author><name>bfrench</name></author><issued>2005-08-02T23:55:34-04:00</issued><modified>2005-08-02T23:55:34-04:00</modified><created>2005-07-21T23:52:45-04:00</created><content mode="escaped" type="text/html" xml:base="http://blog.seniorsafety.com/public/" xml:lang="en-US" xml:space="preserve">&lt;p&gt;No.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We listen to what you have to say...and then we act. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you tell us that you don't want the emergency medical personnel called...maybe you just don't feel well... &amp;quot;Just call my daughter, or son, or whomever...&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's what we'll do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Help is Always Available&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we can't hear you...

In about 40 seconds we know that you are in trouble...and we open a Voice to Voice channel...which means we can speak back and forth with you from basically wherever you are in your home without you ever touching the phone. We are talking to you through the Speaker Box. It has a very loud speaker, and supersensitive microphone. (It does not sound like a telephone conversation) </content></entry></feed>
