I have a sister who is an OB/GYN in the SF Bay area. As you can
imagine, she was a slave to her beeper. A while back she bought a
handheld cellular (on my recommendation) which she now says "changed
her life".  But when I asked for her cellular number, she refused to
give it to me (her husband does not have it either). She "never"
receives calls on the cellular - it's only for "calling in when I'm
beeped".
