Why these are free

I've been to the houses where there was no plan.

Thirty-one years as a paramedic. The difference between the calls that went well and the ones that didn't was almost never equipment, it was whether anyone had thought it through beforehand. Who to ring. Where to meet. Which medications matter.

That takes an afternoon and costs nothing, which is why the planners are free and always will be. Fill one in and you're ahead of most households in the country.
