Hamilton Hospital drops cell phone ban
St. Peter’s Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario, has dropped its ban on cellphone and BlackBerry use. Other hospitals in the city have also decided to permit them, but only in hallways, waiting rooms, and cafeterias.
The move follows the recent study findings by the Mayo Clinic that tested cellphones and PDAs from two different carriers with 192 pieces of medical equipment. The study concluded that “when cellular telephones are used in a normal way, no noticeable interference or interactions occurred with the medical devices.”
“… in a normal way”?
