One of the many reasons why we should always have our mobile phones adequately charged is that we never know when an emergency might arise. Who knows when we might need to make an emergency phone call or text someone in our time of need. But in the case of doctors in Argentina, the emergency came in the form of a failed generator during a blackout in the middle of an appendix operation. Reuters reported that surgeons managed to complete the operation with the aid of mobile phones supplying the needed light as a substitute. A family member gathered some phones from willing people in the hallway to provide adequate lighting for doctors to finish the operation in time before the anesthesia wore off. Wow! Who would have known your mobile phone can literally save someone’s life? But I sure wouldn’t want to be the one on the table only to realize later on that I was operated on in the dark with a handful of cell phones as lighting.
