The light from the cell phone screens allowed surgeons to complete an emergency appendix operation

"The generator, which should have been working correctly, didn't work." a hospital spokesman told. Power went out in the Policlinico Juan D. Peron, the main hospital in Villa Mercedes, a small city in San Luis province.. The surgeons and anaesthetists were in the dark. A family member got some cell phones together from people in the hallway and took them in to provide light.
