Don't Let It Ring.

In the last few days there has been a change in policy at Ward 1's RVH (Royal Victoria Hospital) located in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. Today, you will be permitted to use your cell phone, Just don't let it ring. Apparently vibrate is acceptable. I suspose if you had your phone set to vibrate & it vibrated a bell on your belt, technically you would be ok. Define ring? Is gong or bong ok? Is a Star Wars saber sword sound permited? Ozzy's Paranoid? Surely Chopin's classical pieces are ok? A dog's bark? Maybe not. Were we not always led to believe the reason your cell phone was to be turned off when entering the RVH, so not to interfere with "sensitive life & death $$ hospital equipment?" We all recall almost on a daily basis stories how heart monitoring devices were scribing incorrect data producing unbelievable recovery graphs due to cell phone being turned on.
