Docs in a hospital don't babysit anyone but the patients they are helping.

There are many people on staff who have EXACTLY that job. Floor supervisors, orderlies, security....................


Both hospitals in this area allow cell phones inside. There are signs to "please turn off the ringer on your phone", but that's it.

I haven't seen any issues with cell phones in hospitals around here, despite spending entirely too much time in them in the last year.
