In the advertisement, an elderly woman thanks the company. After a fall, she immediately used the medical-alert device to signal for help. She is now alive. But…
“I can’t stand that thing.”
“How do you mean, Harriet?”
We are now dealing with Harriet and Gertrude. Real people, not women in advertisements.
“George is still alive, Gert.”
Harriet had been married to George for 57 years when he fell and successfully used the device.
“Damn, Harriet. That reminds me of Frank.”
Gertrude, too, had been married for 57 years, in her case to Frank, who had one of the devices also.
