In the smallish (250,000) city I live in, one can let the power company know if you have an "urgent medical need for power." That would include folks on oxygen, vents, and swish-swoosh Roho mattresses. Now that info might just go in the round file, but supposedly they use it to set priorities when repair crews are dispatched.

I hope you never have to wonder about that again.
Also: fucking doctors.
