Seriously...I worked in a hospital for quite a while, and I have never once seen a doctor or nurse need to tell a patient or family member or ANYONE, to turn off their cell phone. If a cell phone was the most annoying distraction in a hospital, wouldn't we all be lucky?

AH but you see.... it is actually the removal of a rule Besides... It shouldn't have to be a rule... it should just be respect for the patients and their families. just like at the movies.... you don't find it sad that they have to TELL people to turn off their ringers? LOL isn't that just common sense? I just don't get what happened to that these days. They don't tell you not to talk during a movie... most people just GET that and refrain from talking (I say most lol not all) but they have to actually tell people to turn off their ringers? lol but I always like to tell those people that if they would like to discuss the movie while it's on perhaps they should consider renting

it's like commercials that say "cars cannot actually drive on buildings" I'm amazed they have to say these things. people don't just know that? lol

it makes me giggle inside just a little
