If they want me to cough into a cell phone, they'll have to buy me one first---and pay for the minutes too. This doesn't sound like something that will become common usage, but who knows? It's a crazy world.

Carol 10. November 2009, 03:46

It's weird to me.
It reminded me of Angeliki's funny post about the machine.
:D

Angeliki 10. November 2009, 03:51

"Your doctor could soon ask you to cough a little more loudly into your phone."

Gosh it is like the phone does not have enough germs on it!!!

I hope they did not ask you today to cough on phone , or I am making a plane reservation to teach these guys a lesson or two!!!

Love ya! Looking forwards to your post update when you know more and be ready to share :heart:

I can just see people learning to fake different types of coughs to get prescription pain killers and other drugs.

:lol:

PainterWoman 10. November 2009, 04:17

Oh good grief! Well they can buy me a cell phone first too.

Carol 10. November 2009, 04:34

Angeliki, I thought the same thing about the phone having enough germs already.

Thank you, I love you too. :heart: I just know that this CAT scan was rougher on me then the last one. I've been in a lot more pain and pressure since the test. I'm not looking forward to Wednesday's xrays at all. I will know the results on Monday when I go see my doctor. :heart:


Stardancer :D

Hi Pam, they don't need to buy me one, I don't have one and do not want one. :smile:

PainterWoman 10. November 2009, 04:42

Yeah I don't think I want one again. Had one for three years a while back and it only seemed to ring when I was going to the pot or driving in the car. I never answered it when I was driving ever and just waited till I got to my destination and I certainly didn't carry it into the bathroom with me. It was always this one person who just wanted to know what I was doing. But she'd call me five times a day!

Carol 10. November 2009, 05:38

That's odd that she would call like that.

Darko 10. November 2009, 05:58

I was thinking, what if one have a, say, chewing gum in his/her mouth when start to cough in a cell phone to get diagnosis and suddenly start to choke. What kind of diagnosis would be? :whistle:
Ok, maybe it would get out of mouth and stick to a phone :lol:

Carol 10. November 2009, 06:05

:lol:

r♡se 10. November 2009, 10:20

Oooh, I can just see the germs spreading!

Carol 10. November 2009, 10:47

Hi Rose-Marie, that's for sure.

Kitty 10. November 2009, 10:54

Everybody can say "take two aspirins and come back tomorrow if you don't feel better." No need for the doctor to look at you first! :wink:

Carol 10. November 2009, 10:55

:lol: :D

Santa Furie 10. November 2009, 12:25

This is the stupidest idea I've seen in ages. While the technology for measuring sound and finding illness from a cough is already up and running, they can't do that over a cellular network. One single bar drop in network quality, one mildly crossed line, even a truck passing or people talking could throw the test off. It needs to be in controlled laboratory conditions in order to be accurate and that defeats the object when a doctor can just look down your throat in much easier and cheaper conditions than that.

Tab 10. November 2009, 12:36

When using a public washroom...the lady in the stall next to me began to speak..it wasn't your typical..pass me some tissue please.

It went like this-

"Hi, What are you doing?"
To which I replied "Same as you"

And then I realised she was yaking on her cell. Homer: Doh!

PainterWoman 10. November 2009, 13:52

It was probably my former friend calling me.

Tab 10. November 2009, 14:07

I have never felt the need to be on the phone in the washroom. There are brief moments when I don't need to feel connected to someone else.

Coughing into a phone for a diagnoses is stupid and would just tell me that medical professionals are getting lazy.

Carol 10. November 2009, 14:52

Mik, I agree it's the stupidest thing.

Tab, ROFLMAO :lol:

Pam :lol:

Darko 10. November 2009, 15:49

:idea:
We could always borrow someone's phone to cough at P:

Tab 10. November 2009, 16:00

And everyone wonders why I wash my phone once a week with an alcohol wipe..

5 kids = Lots of nasty microbes.

Carol 10. November 2009, 17:15

Darko :yuck: No thanks. p:

Tab, yes it does = that.
:smile:

Suntana 11. November 2009, 00:53

Phones in general are already considered one of the filthiest things on the planet. And now they want to add THIS to that problem?

Anyway, I was already pretty much gonna comment something along the lines of what Furie said. So, he saved me the trouble. Yup, one instantaneous Fugg Up by the phone connection and they could have you diagnosed with only 6 months to live. NOT a good idea on various levels.

Tab 11. November 2009, 00:58

Can't wait till they can do pap tests over the internet..

Léazz 11. November 2009, 01:47

up: :cool: Errrrr will the mobile will get any virus? :D

Carol 11. November 2009, 04:16

Carlos :D

Tab :yikes: :faint: :D

Leéazz, sorry I don't get what you mean.

Suntana 11. November 2009, 16:01

Carol, I think Leeazz probably means a virus in the sense that mobile phones can now get viruses just like computers can get viruses.

Carol 11. November 2009, 17:08

Carlos, I think that is what Léazz means.
:smile:

Carol,
:frown: sorry you are hurting more...
I am hoping the x-rays are done by now ...

a valid diagnosis and enough to start treatment! :heart:

Carol 11. November 2009, 20:52

:eyes: :smile:

Mette 12. November 2009, 20:48

I'm coughing inside the mobile occasionally, but has probably yet to get a diagnosis on .... smoking cough :D

Carol 12. November 2009, 20:49

:D

Tab 12. November 2009, 22:58

So glad I never smoked!

Carol 12. November 2009, 23:18

I wish I never started.
:smile:

Tab 13. November 2009, 00:10

I think most smokers end up feeling that way.

Carol 13. November 2009, 01:58

Most of them do I guess.

Santa Furie 13. November 2009, 02:39

*exception to the rule walks in, rolls Carol in wrapping paper and lights her up*

Carol 13. November 2009, 03:16

Darko 13. November 2009, 06:00
