To monitor a patient, an alligator clip is fastened to the patient by a cord having a length of between five inches and five feet. The other end of the cord is connected to a switch which is activated when the patient moves beyond the length of the cord to cause a message to be announced. A pressure pad is located under the patient and armed by the application of weight to the pad. Upon removal of the weight the alarm is given.
