Unless they have been tested and passed by the hospitals electrical department, I wonder if there is a niche in the market for one of the phone companies to sell a phone that is etched with a logo on on the case that it is not going to interfeer with medical equipment. Have seen staff using mobile phone in wards and been told that they have been checked by hospital electrical dept. Don%26#39;t mean to be picky but who has better testing equipment, Nokia, motorola etc. or a local hospital.
Answers:
Some hospitals don%26#39;t enforce the mobile phone ban, and in almost all of them the doctors use them, the pagers are obsolete now.
The REAL reason for the ban is that the hospital want visitors to use their payphones and want patients to use the bedside subscription TV/Phone/internet point, usually supplied by Patientline, and it is a rip off. Patients families call the bedside phone for an extortionate rate only to get 5 minutes of recorded messages before the phone even rings at the bedside. What an absolute liberty. We have to start boycotting this kind of nonsense, along with 0870 numbers, or get ripped off forever. your a bit behind love,they dont have to be switched off anymore.
sorry im not being rude,i read it in my local hospital a couple of months ago. apparently mobile phones generate a static arc when they are switched on, fires an explosions at petrol stations have been blamed for a spark being created by this arc, as well as medical equipment being affected. Its also said that our mobile networks are scrambling honey bees ability to lead each other to good nectar sources. I dont know enough to know if this technology does create this arc or not, but if it does, I cant see that one phone would and another phone wouldnt. I also have seen mobile phones being used in hospital. I think they just ask you not to use them because there is a very minor chance they could interfere with some of the medical equipment. I work in a position that I have to carry a portable radio with me at all times. I frequent the hospitals in my job and used the radio. I have not been told I couldn%26#39;t. If a radio doesn%26#39;t interfere then I don%26#39;t think a cell phone would. hope this helps. I was surprised when we could use our mobiles ,its only in some wards where there is certain equipment that you cant use a mobile nowadays take it from me its bullshit always as been its a way of getting you to use their phones most hospitals are allowing them now as its been proved they dont interfere but i think u have to use them in corridor not on wards. however the hospitals that havent changed their policy its cos they have that expensive patientline contract, there was a thing about it on watchdog or similar programme a while ago.
