You are on: News » Do not hold the telephone ...

The alert has been sent by consulting medical doctors from the British journal "Neurology"
It has been proven it is dangerous and even lethal to talk on the phone holding the hook with your shoulder and head.
Usually one does that when it is necessary to make notes of what the other party is saying.
The case reported by the scientific magazine refers to a French psychiatrist.
The French Doctor held the phone with his head and left shoulder for one hour and when he hung up he suffered from temporary blindness, difficulty to speak and had a brain stroke.
REASON:
A tiny, sharp-edged bone located under the left ear behind the chin has broken down vases that take the blood to the brain. This breakdown happens because regardless of realizing anything the user presses the phone with the head harder and harder at the same time as the shoulder is lifted.
Since this practice is so usual mainly in offices many times the problem affects people as much as reported above, but may also cause cumulative problems.
TELL YOUR CO-WORKERS, FRIENDS AND EVERYONE ELSE WITH WHOM YOU RELATE THAT THEY SHOULD AVOID SPEAKING ON THE PHONE WHILE HOLDING IT BETWEEN THE SHOULDER AND THE HEAD.
MD Luís Carlos Calil, Professor of Psychiatry at Triângulo Mineiro Medical School.
