So picture this (all you Healthcare or former Healthcare workers and all you patients or prospective patients-ha ha) you're lying there on the operating table and the power goes out in the facility. Generator power doesn't kick in and your are half-way through an emergency surgery. Well, it happened, to a poor patient undergoing an emergency appendectomy. Full Story Here What do the smart people do? Gather up a bunch of cell phones and use it for light. The doctors were then able to continue on and finish the surgery.
This is just another example of cell phones saving lives and why I don't go anywhere - and I mean anywhere - without mine. Think about it, your're walking through a bad section of town, gunfire breaks out but your cell phone (which you are talking on) blocks the bullet from hitting your head. Another life saved by a cell phone. (Especially if you have one of those huge brick blackberries, there is no way a bullet could penetrate that thing)
Another example, you're in the Grand Canyon and a Mountain Lion comes out of the woods and is about to pounce on you. You reach for your phone.....blast....no signal. Mountain Lion pounces, you die a slow, painful death. That's just one more reason that cell phones should have service in the Grand Canyon.

LMAO! Poor Grand Canyon visitor, getting mauled by the mountain lion :(
This is why I always carry TWO cell phones around - more emergency light. I could probably provide light for a surgery all by myself :)
Wait, how does the cell phone save you from the mountain lion?
JennAnn - if you throw it at the mountain lion hard enough, you might give him a concussion.
Oh ok I get it! :)
LMAO! I knew this would eventually circle back to the total lack of cell service at the Canyon!
Hilarious! I agree completely that cell phones must be carried at all times! But Kim, are you really (and I mean REALLY) sure that a Blackberry would stop a bullet from penetrating your head if you were talking on it?
I have to admit I have used my cell phone light to walk to bed, but that must have been a lot of freakin' phones to light up for the surgery.
Again with the complaints about no service in the Grand Canyon! What did we do before cell phones! We sat in peace and quiet on vacation.
If a brick to the head saves your life what would a big bowl of jelly do?
