Guest guest Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 A friend f mine has sent me the following message for wide circulation. As it relates to life and living, may I post this with arequest to please circulate as widely as possible. S. M. Acharya <smacharya >> >This is a real incident that happened in a local hospital in Bangalore. A 4 year old girl was admitted due to leg fracture. As it was an open fracture,she had to undergo an operation to stitch the protruding bone back in >place. Though it was quite a minor operation, she was hooked on to life support system, as a part of the process. The doctors had to input some data prior to the operation to suit different conditions. Thereafter, the operation proceeded.Half way through the process, the life support system suddenly went dead. The culprit: - Some one was using his/her hand-phone outside the operation theatre. And the frequency had affected the system. They tried to track the fellow but to no avail. The little girl, young and innocent as she was, died soon after. " Be compassionate!.Do not use your hand phone /mobiles especially at any hospitals or within the Aircraft or any places where you are told not to use it... You might not be caught in the act, but you might have killed someone without knowing " .Sometimes it's a matter of Life & Death....!!!! Please pass this to as many, since most of us are just not aware of the seriousness of this issue. Please Don't Delete.Please Send this to all your contacts and help save a life. A tiny mail can save a life. Dr Amit BhargavaConsultantMedical Oncologist Mobile: 9811065538 ______________________________\ ____ Park yourself in front of a world of choices in alternative vehicles.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 This is a very popular urban legend. The March 2007 issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings published a study on this that concluded that there was no " clinically important " interference when they are used in a " normal " way. ( Snopes.com) However, I have noticed that my cell will mess up the television signal even through a wall when it is about to ring and also when I am near the computer the computer starts acting weird, so I think there may be something to this one. What Snopes said they found was that they couldn't verify this particular case of interference and death and that the tale was circulated as a caution to get people to follow the rules, like the ones where your mother tells you not to stick your head out of the car window while going or it will get cut off. I am a folklorist and have learned that many of these urban legends will have a tiny bit of truth to them like a real location, but they are mostly cautions about aspects of life that people are uncomfortable with. We recently had a serial killer working this area and all of a sudden, everyone was getting lots of urban legends about women who were attacked in strange ways in parking lots that could not be verified.
