Einstein's trauma team now uses them to receive vital data about incoming patients. When an emergency arrival is imminent, the team receives a beep, followed by a four-digit number t
hat tells them when the ambulance is expected at the hospital and the type of emergency involved - say, a gunshot wound, or a heart attack. ''It triggers a response in all of us to run, and to know where to run,'' said Joanne Fisher, manager of the trauma program. ''It has saved countless lives by saving seconds.''

sixteen beepers there
one fell off

fifteen beepers left on his hip
