"DS in hospitals"

In a month or so, I'm going to be having an operation and will be in hospital for a few days (then off work for a month, zing!). I'm going to be bored out of my mind unless I take something to do. I was thinking of getting a few DS games then leaving them alone until I go into hospital.

However, it occured to me that there might be a problem with that. We all know that you're supposed to switch mobile phones off in hospitals because the signals they give out can interfere with hospital equipment... but does anyone know if this would apply to the DS as well? Seeing as the DS is supposedly constantly sending out signals; searching for other DS consoles to connect with (or so I heard), would these interfere with hospital equipment in the same way as mobile phones?

If so, I'll take my GBA and finish Astro Boy and Minish Cap... but I fancied having Kirby and Nintendogs keeping me and my bed-pan company.

LOL! That'd give the newspapers something to moan about.

"GAMES KILL PEOPLE!!!" etc.

"DS STOLE MY LIFE!"

Maybe you could play Nintendogs with your Pacemaker?

Ahaha, I luv rib

Apparantly, you can play your DS on an aeroplane, but you're not allowed to play wireless. This seems to be the same situation.

Not that you'll find anyone to play against in hospital.

I don't think Albino's DS wi-fi will reach an overhead plane :P

Heh heh...

In a plane. Apparantly it can mess up the radar or something*.

*I know absolutly nothing about planes

Well at least the plane will land right next to the hospital so they won't have to move the bodies far..

Yeah.

Wouldn't want the hospitals radar to go out!
