When you have 2 kids at home and Mom is taken to the hospital by ambulance you might understand.



Well I did say that I have no problem with patient use of a phone when nessecary... but no one needs to be on the phone constantly. When you are in the hospital no one needs to have casual conversation on the phone. Is it hard on people to go without? Sure it might be... but it won't kill them. People lived without cell phones for a LONG time.... they aren't nessecary now. Use it in an emergency and if you are able... step outside to do so. I just don't get why that is so hard to do. Basically the cell phone thing in a hospital is it is NOT nessecary.... no one NEEDS to have their cell phone on all the time. Make your calls in private... turn off your phone. Simple. If you must, check your messages every so often... but then turn it back off.

Sure... it makes things "easy" but sometimes life is not meant to be easy. Somtimes you must live life the hard way.
