What did I learn today? First do no harm... #1

My wife's grandaunt was doing some cleaning around the house yesterday evening when she slipped on a wet floor and took one for the team.  She lay on the ground for several minutes, unable to move due to pain, yelling out the names of her neighbors, hoping someone would come to her rescue.  Come they did, all three of them, breaking in through a side window.  As you continue to read and mental images of the latest emergency notification system pop up in your mind, the neighbors called the daughter, and the daughter called 9-1-1.
