And no, I don't mean Dr. Seuss.

We just ordered, so we don't have it yet, but I think it's just brilliant. This is an emergency-access key box that you install outside the house that is accessible by EMT/Police/Fire only. We had the fire department EMT recommend we get one for FIL's house, as we have had six (yes, six) emergency visits in the last year. It is not available everywhere, but I think it's a great idea for medically fragile people. When a call comes in for their address, dispatch will show that there is an access box, and where it is! Anything to get help into the house quickly.
