Cell Phones: Safe to use in Health Care Facilities?
Cell phone use is banned in air flights, banks, hospitals and other facilities where electronic interference would pose a problem.

However, dispelling old notion, cellular phones are safe to use in healthcare facilities because calls made from cell phones do not have negative impacts on hospital medical devices.

According anyway to the finding of a new study by Mayo Clinic researchers published in the March issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings.

According to David Hayes, M.D., of the Division of Cardiovascular Diseases and author of the study:

... the findings should prompt hospitals to alter or abandon their bans on cell phone use.

mayo cliniclinks leaders are reviewing the facility's cell phone ban because of the study's findings.

Cell phone bans inconvenience patients and their families who must exit hospitals to place calls."


Still we should wonder how strong the evidence is before lifting cell phone ban on healthcare facilities.
