Paging system down

You don't realize how much we rely on the paging system until it goes down. We've turned into the hospital you see on TV, with "stat" pages overhead every 30 seconds.

Hehe! I got you right there! =) When my sister was working at a hospital, she also relied on their paging system. She says it feels quite weird if their paging system is not working.

Because cellphone signals can jam and interfere with the systems in hospitals, paging systems are used to communicate in and around the west. No wonder paging systems still exist in hospitals and other sensitive places, even if most people buy smartphones.
