A Cardiologist once told me (which makes it evidence based) that if your
mobile was in your breast pocket and it happened to go off and you
happened to have a pacemaker box under the skin nearby and it happened
to be linked to an implanted defibrillator, you might have a problem.
There was the case of a woman who was writhing around on the floor of
WHSmiths when the shop-lifter detection device set off her implanted
defib. I recall a paramedic spotted the cause and dragged the woman away
from the offending radio signal. Was the story published on 1st April?
Signals from mobiles strong enough to affect a telly 10 yards away or a
radio in the next room might conceivably do this. I would certainly
never let these satanic instruments anywhere near my temporal lobe,
thank you very much - unless answering a call from Rowley perhaps.
Our department has a "No mobiles" policy, mainly because we despise all
people who shout "I'M ON MY MOBILE, THE DOCTOR'S WAITING TO SEE ME".
No offence Rowley - we appreciate your motives for having one are
entirely honourable!
