    Ricky Gervais Receives "Thank You" from MedicAlert Foundation

    PRWeb – Fri, Jan 13, 2012

    MedicAlert® responds to comment in recent interview with New York Times Magazine.

    Turlock, CA (PRWEB) January 13, 2012

    In a recent article (1/11/12) in the New York Times Magazine, comedian Ricky Gervais’s 2011 Golden Globe performance was described as only “mildly offensive, at best” and further stated, “It was the sort of material that would have barely rattled MedicAlert bracelets at a Friars Club roast.” Grateful for recognizing the nonprofit’s reputation as being “the most dependable emergency medical information network in the world,” MedicAlert Foundation expresses its gratitude and wishes the comedian the best of luck at this coming Sunday’s awards ceremony – even sending Gervais a personally inscribed MedicAlert bracelet to serve as a reminder of the many MedicAlert bracelets which will be rattling with laughter.

    “We look forward in anticipation to a show which is full of shock and awe, and know that our 4 million members worldwide will be chiming in with celebratory laughter by purposefully rattling their MedicAlert bracelets” says MedicAlert Foundation’s president and CEO, Andrew B. Wigglesworth.

    Encouraged by the notion that it takes a lot to rattle a MedicAlert bracelet, Wigglesworth points out that the dependability of the MedicAlert bracelet is even further surpassed by the dependability of the services that complement the bracelet: “Our true dependability is based on the live 24/7 emergency response services in which we relay our members’ full medical history to ensure they receive the best treatment.”

    This weekend, the Foundation will deliver a MedicAlert bracelet to Mr. Gervais. The Foundation has engraved a bracelet with an encouraging message – “Millions of us expect to rattle with laughter – best wishes.”
