Mobile Phone Screen Gives Light During Surgery
I would not want to be in the place of Leonardo Molina. Molina, who is 29 years old, had gone under the knife last 21st of July and what happened was that the whole duration of his surgery, it was through the light of a mobile phone screen that it was completed.
The surgery was not something really major like a heart transplant. It was a mere emergency appendix operation. However, since it still is something related to the body, I would not want to undergo any kind of surgery with mobile phone screen’s light as the light source.
This was not an experiment. What happened was that during the operation, the power went out. And one spokesperson for the hospital did explain, “The generator, which should have been working correctly, didn’t work. The surgeons and anaesthetists were in the dark… A family member got some mobile phones together from people in the hallway and took them in to provide light.â€?
Not amazing for me. But also something not common.

Yes, I heard about this. Good thinking by the family member in such critical situation.
Could have just panicked…
