Yep, worked fine.

I doubt it. I spent part of that time in St Vincents in Sydney, by far
the most recent major hospital in Sydney and it worked fine there too.

They did have a notice in the very localised area where they do the
stents with very high tech equipment that mobile phone should be
turned off there, so they clearly didnt have any shielding like that.
