I didn't read every single reply but if the car is ok then what is the big deal here? Every idiot knows that it takes forever at the hospital and you get no reception either. If what she said is true about her husband she probably had better things to do than call work.

These are the same people who bitch about people using cell phones and giving updates on twitter during emergencies. How odd.

That's not totally true. I get reception in hospitals just fine, as do other people, though I'm sure it's not the case with everyone and could have been with this lady. And like some have already said, she couldn't have been running around like mad with 100 things to do for 10 hours. I still fail to see a valid reason why a phone call could not be made, at the very least when she was driving back to the office.
