However, these tags and charms can prove useless if an emergency response unit does not arrive on time. With medical alert dialers and the emergency automatic phone dialer, friends, relatives, neighbors and even 911 can be alerted immediately as soon as the emergency button is pressed and distress calls are automatically sent out by the dialer.

My husband was recently diagnosed with cancer. I have been an a nurse fo twnty years and had to put in a lot of hours.  Since we found out I knew I had to leave my job and find something that did not require a lot of hours.It would be a big career change for me. I looked into Diagnostic medical sonography classes. I knew that the hours would not be as long and I would be able to be home to take care of my husband. I made a good decision and although my husband passed away, I chose not to go back to nursing. It gave more time to  spend with my family and that’s what it’s all about.
