Dear Srini, Indeed there is a snopes report specifically explaining this Hoax..
http://www.snopes.com/horrors/techno/hospital.asp Though there are isolated reports that cell phones adversely affect medical equipment, a research conducted has shown no proof of the same. But it is better to avoid the use of Cell phones while we visit patients at least from the point of view of nuisance value.
