A heart attack. A stroke. Losing consciousness after you dial.
If you are so concerned about these things happening to you, perhaps you should get life alert or something more serious than just e911.
Both heart attacks and strokes are very avoidable.
Both these fatal illnesses can be easily avoided by having a healthy weight, regular exercise, and a healthy diet.
Have faith friend, you can free yourself from your fear with a little prevention.
Police Dispatchers will always ask your location if you can talk.
If calling for a family member, you will not be advantaged by having proper e911.
You are correct! It sounds like you have thought of every conceivable type of emergency.
A simple change of diet and being more careful is all it takes. I have already increased the amount of servings of fruits and vegetables that I am eating on a daily basis based on your research.
A few years ago my house was struck by lightening and a fire started. The lightening blew out the phone lines. I called 911 from my cell. I lived on Deer Run Road. The fire department went to White Tail Lane. Close enough, right? Same animal. Took them an extra 30 minutes to get there. Triangulation worked great! Human error? No problem!
E911 is a stupid worthless system. Thanks for opening my eyes.

At the very same time, my GV number DID become my main point of contact for most of the folks I stay in contact with.
Though I am not eager to change my 'main' number - this is exactly what I will do because trying to plan ahead is quite impossible with no specific information regarding when the Obi/GV combo will die.
I hesitate to post in this nonsensical discussion, but for others that may get confused from incorrect information, I will make the point that you do NOT need to give up your GV number. There are two options: 1) Forward the GV number to another service (I'm doing that now) and 2) Port the number to another service.

I know of no emergency that would allow me to dial 911 yet prevent me from stating my location.
I'm healthy and not at risk for the two health related emergencies you listed.
Nothing about a fire would prevent me from talking.
I once had a house fire, I escorted my pets outside, proceeded to drown the fire with my dogs water bucket and the faucet, then called the non-emergency number. The time it would've took me to call 911 and wait for a fire truck to arrive, would've meant the house would no longer be there.
