I had fallen off my horse and was hospitalized with six broken ribs, a fractured scapula and a collapsed lung. Although I had called my neighbor Tom and left several messages asking if he could feed my cats, he hadn’t called back. Another neighbor checked for me and learned that Tom had called, but no one answered. Obviously my phone wasn’t working. I asked the nurse for another phone but she said there were none. A short time later, she brought one into my room. “I took it from the patient down the hall. He’s in a coma …”
This story from Ann-Louise Truschel may not qualify as it is apparently true! But it's worth reading:-
