Cody,

When I was in the hospital, I used an environmental control unit to
control the lights, t.v., and telephone. It was all operated by sip and
puff controls. It worked great. It was called a microdeck. The word
micro wasn't spelled out like that. Instead it used the symbol for
micro which is like a backward "u". I don't use one now but have been
thinking about buying one because I have a couple of very overweight
nurses that are a heart attack waiting to happen and I have no way of
getting help. \
