SINGAPORE: Surgeons at Tan Tock Seng Hospital can now receive critical laboratory test results via SMS on their mobile phones. The National Healthcare Group said this is the first of such system in the world.

Another nifty use of text messaging. Not sure whether extending it to patients as well would work – would you want to know something was abnormal with a recent medical test or similar by text?
