A better example would be a doctor in the audience with a medical
emergency call. Granted, most doctors are smart enough to put their
cells on vibrate, but that would preclude a system that would eliminate
phone reception.

If you have any real chance of being called, it's better not to go to
a concert at all. You don't want to have to go at the middle of a
movement disturbing everybody else sitting in that row.

All doctors are regularly "on call" for certain periods of time where
they may not be able to predict their lack of availability. And the
momentary discomfort of a few patrons in a row is a small price to pay
for saving a life.

That's not the issue - as the previous poster posted, that doctor on
call simply shouldn't BE in the audience. If they are, they need to
have their cell on vibrate and be seated on the aisle so they can leave
with minimal disturbance. But I seriously doubt that doctor has no
back up, anyway, and that the situation is a life and death one every
single time the doc gets buzzed.

I take it you're not a parent, and thus have not experienced an
imminent mother-to-be making damn sure *her* doctor is going to be
there when the baby's there.

P.S. Who knew it was all these damn doctors, and they're the ones
probably coughing too! :-)
