can anyone remeber rabbit phones?

Question

as in the phone network mobile you could only use where there was a rabbit sign. pointless or what?

Answer 1

Yes I remember them - good idea, badly marketed and failed eventually.

Bit like Ionica where you see their dishes left on houses.

Answer 2

Yep, the pet shop I worked in when I was 15 had one.

No one ever used it.

Not enough people had one, so those people who did have one probably did not know another person with one. Hence no one ever made a call.

The sign is still attached to the building too!

PS no pun intended about pet shops and rabbits!!

Answer 3

Why would anyone care for your blood>

Bloodless medicine appeals to many doctors because it carries low risk of post-operative infection when compared with procedures requiring blood transfusion. Additionally, it is cost-saving. The cost for a unit of blood in the US hovers around $500 a unit, including testing [citation needed]. This costs are further increased as, according to Jan Hoffman (an administrator for the blood conservation program at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pennsylvania), hospitals must pick up the tab for the first three units of blood infused per patient per calendar year. By contrast, hospitals may be reimbursed for drugs that boost a patient's red blood cell count, a treatment approach often used before and after surgery to reduce for a blood transfusion. Geisinger Medical Center began a blood conservation program in 2005 and had a recorded savings of $273,000 in its first six months of operation.[1]
