Yeah, I remember you said that. You work in a hospital in Amsterdam then?

Yes indeed, i work at the AMC, if you ever heared of it?

I thought pagers were obsolete. Isn't SMS and MMS adequate enough?

Sheikmeister, Overhere it's not allowed to use your phone and stuff inside our hospitals because of the radiation, it can fuck up equipment which can decide life or death. You never watched Scrubs?

No mate, they used the MC mostly, like the hospital in Utrecht is called the UMC: Utrecht Medical Centre

Scrubs is great

How does a pager work then?

Well you dial a number and if it's mine then this pager will Buzz and make a anooying sounds so i have to call my pager number and then answer the call

Because the pager doesnt have bad radiation, a mobile phone does

Never.

True bro, but it's a safe option for a hospital

So it's basically a radio receiver, similar to FM I suppose. It means you have to stay within a certain geographical range to be reachable I presume.

Btw don't visitors in hospitals still use phones? Or do they respect that rule?

They're usually instructed to turn them off. I only assume they do it most of the times.
