Debate about cell phones in hospitals.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Wow! For thousands of years babies were born without doctors and anesthesia.....but I don't know if you think life was meant to be that hard? And babies were born without ultrasound....I'll ask my mother how she managed to birth four babies without all these modern conveniences.....

Ask ANYONE in the healthcare field...your suggestion that people can visit you instead of talk on the phone is simply contrary to good health. People visiting bring and take germs with them.

If you have a problem with cell phones...don't use one. If you are expected ZERO conversation to be taking place around you in a hospital (or many other places for that matter....) you may be in for a surprise.

Sparks, If you think panicked children can be dealt with that easily, do you have some surprises coming.

I've always left my phone on in hosptials and doctors, I know a nurse who said its mainly the noise that will disturb people which is why they are asked to turn phones off. I think along as its on vibrate or silent and you dont make unessasary phone calls then there is nothing wrong with that.
