Mobile Phones in Hospital...
 

Apparently mobiles are now allowed in all areas of hospitals (apart from those with sensitive equipment). After taking advice from the relevant boffins, it has been accepted that mobile phones do not cause a risk other than in certain areas.

Ok, so it will be cheaper and easier to contact patients and vice versa than the current patient line and other similar companies approach ( which are a huge ripoff), but hospital is for sick people. How will the sound of various ringtones going off through out the day help peoples recovery??:mad:

Is nowhere a mobile free zone these days??:mad: :mad:

I know what you mean

On 1 hand yea great idea. When my gf was in hospital i bought her a card for the phone at her bed. was £10 an it worked out about £1 per min to call a mobile. Thats mental

People will keep phones on vibrate etc

But im assuming you wont be allowed to use it in every ward.

But on the other it could be very irratating to other patients

oops missed the earlier thread on this.. MODS can you merge?? pretty please:)

Nurses haven't minded in-patients using them for a few years now.

It's people visiting that they don't like using them because it is so annoying for those working/being cared for.
