Echo this, recently a friend had an epileptic seizure in Switzerland and they not only wouldn't come right away, they made me very carefully justify why I thought they should come. It's my new rule not to assume this...
Good for them. Epileptic seizures aren't usually life-threatening.
Does a product exist combining a panic button with a gps (or mobile location) that links to police, ambulance or fire. 1 click police, 2 clicks ambulance, 3 clicks fire... sort of thing?
For Android, I wrote the "Fall Detector" which will try to see if you fall over (physically), or are inactive, and will alert your associates/friends/families over Twitter and SMS messages - its called "Fall Detector", for Android, and you can get it here:

It has the feature that you can press the "green area" to send an emergency "here I am, come get me" message if you want to - including GPS details and so on.

Dial 911 from virtually any cell phone and hang up. No need to say anything. PS. 112 in Europe. (edit) I meant to say that American 911 is European 112. I don't know if the police in European countries is supposed to react to dropped 112 calls or not. In Canada and in the US it is. A friend of mine saw it in action. He saw something, dialed, realized it wasn't a big deal, hung up, walked away 100 m, then, boom - not…
FYI, 112 will actually work on /any/ GSM phone, no matter where you are (provided there's GSM reception in your area, naturally). It's part of the GSM standard; 112 is supposed to redirect to whatever your local emergency line is.

How can it take 3 days to find someone at a hospital? I mean, obviously it can, but still, this seems to be an inordinate amount of time to find someone.

You can't just go calling hospitals asking if a certain person has been admitted. That's actually confidential information, and they won't just give that out.

No. They can be. The probability is low, but during the Epilepsy the patient can injure himself.
