BBC News has an interesting piece on it’s site, about how ‘texting’ is a good sign of recovery… read on if you are intruiged..
Essentially, Doctors at some of the huge UK music festivals have said that a patients’ ability to use a mobile (for texting) is a pretty good indicator of how ill they are! Doctors noticed that as soon as people could text their friends after their ‘incident’, then they were generally well enough to carry on their festival-ing.
You might be wondering what can happen to people at festivals – well faiting is quite common, and I guess if it’s really packed, then some kind of trampling or compression injuries (say against a fence) are quite possible too.
If this is actually a good indicator, then I would say 99% of all young(er) people I see must be fantastic health, as they all seem to spend all of their time with their fingers/ears glued to mobile devices!
