Cell phones safe to use in hospitals: U.S. study [Reuters]
Calls made on cell phone don't affect hospital medical devices, a study concludes, but those anti-theft alarms found in retailers might be poison to implanted heart devices.

This doesn't surprise me at all. However, they're still going to tell us not to just like they do on airplanes. Wankers
Doctors have been using them in the hospitals for years.
I was in Cyprus a few years back and a girl in our apartments hurt herself really bad. She was allowed to use her mobile during her stay in the hospital.
This was about 4/5 years ago.
Could you imagine a plane journey with everyone yapping on their mobiles though. Nightmare.

I think wankers are allowed in hospitals and airplanes. God knows I've run into my fair share
