Yes, because what I want more than anything is for my doctor to be
unreachable when I go into cardiac arrest.

How about being rendered unable to call the police when somebody is
breaking into the car you're in?

I like the note at the bottom of the page, which says that it's
illegal to use in the UK and they can't sell them into any EU country,
and they're illegal to use in some other countries but it's the
purchaser's responsibility to figure out the situation where they
are. I wonder how mnay places *wouldn't* prohibit them. They appear
to be illegal in the US, under 47 USC 333 & 302a.

They've got a range of 10m. If someone's got one switched on within 10m of your car, it's likely that they'll see the maniac trying to break in and maniacalize you.
