I was entirely true inasmuch as the sales pitch of some of those phone
sharks was exactly that: to frighten hospital managers into having
land-lines installed EVERYWHERE, banning the use of mobiles EVERYWHERE
and charging their patients a bloody fortune.

The current MHRA advice still says some devices such as infusion pumps
are susceptible so hospitals should still disallow mobiles in critical
care areas. 

[Snip]

Then there is the concern they express about restricting the use of
mobiles in ambulances and the NHS' own mobile data terminals which should
be subject to the same restrictions as mobiles. Does that mean there will
always be paper charts and biros in intensive care?
