Re: "I'm just in theatre!"
This probably isn’t too relevant because of the low emitted power of a mobile phone, but second, third and even forth harmonics could in the right circumstances cause interference to some machines. And the operative word there is COULD.
The use of mobile phones in a ward should be limited to strict bed patients ONLY. The rest who are able to get up and walk about should go into the rest room or for a walk in the grounds or something.
Yes lettie I realise that the phones are not supplied by the NHS but by private companies but the hospital gets a cut of any revenue generated.
It’s a commercial world, even in hospitals. Hey Ho!
