I think they would tell you to turn it off so patients laying there don't have to listen to you yakking. Please Turn Off Your Cell Phone! SURVIVAL OF THE SICKEST BLOG Published by Sharon Moalem March 19th, 2007 in News and Views. For anyone that's been in a hospital in the last few years I'm sure that you're aware of the strict policy of turning your cell phone off. If you've ever asked why, you would have been told that there's a chance that it might interfere with some life sustaining medical electronic device. There was even a story circulating a few years back about someone forgetting to turn off their cell phone which caused the death of a child. Turns out that not only was the original story an urban legend, debunked by snopes.com, but a recent study by the Mayo clinic found that there's no real concern about using cell phones around medical equipment. survivalofthesickestthebook.com
