This is not just a failing of the young but also a reflection of modern technology, notably the cellular telephone. We observed that the behaviour induced by the use of such devices is so egregious as to be medically informative. We offer a descriptive phenomenology and neuroanatomical classification of aberrant behaviour in relation to cellular telephone use by physicians at medical conferences. Although the cellular telephone is a scourge, its ability to add to the diagnostic armamentarium in cognitive neurology should not be overlooked, especially if a fee code can be attached.}, issn = {0820-3946}, URL = {https://www.cmaj.ca/content/177/12/1533}, eprint = {https://www.cmaj.ca/content/177/12/1533.full.pdf}, journal = {CMAJ} }
