Cell phones??

[JustMe]

We have signs everywhere asking visitors not to use cell phones while in the monitored areas of the hospital. I have yet to hear a plausible reason. I have been told that the signals interfere with the equipment, and yet the physicians are allowed to use their phones while in these areas. I have never seen any interence from the cell phones. What's the deal??

I worked in a hospital for 9 months where both the staff, visitors, and patients used cell phones. There were no problems with equipment malfunction.
