Anyone who has seen an episode of old-school Star Trek, knows about the communicators. Back in the day, William Shatner would flip up what looked to be a cellphone to talk to Scotty back up on the Enterprise. One hospital has adopted the technology, and so far has saved a lot of man hours with it.

The Hospital Communicator Hangs Easy From The Neck

The communicator system was implemented by Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, at the Royal Victoria Hospital Emergency Department. Since its release hospital workers have boasted about its performance, and convenience. Doctors, nurses, and aides all have the device. They have stated that they are spending less time trying to contact others, and have more time for the patients.

I know that this technology is for the benefit of mankind. But I really want one, if nothing more to say than “DAMMNIT JIM I’M JUST A DOCTOR”! (Star Trek nerds know of what I speak)
