This is the type of thing that should be reported more not the usual rubbish we read. If this guy doesn't get some sort of recognition it will be a shame.

Most of MSF deserve medals. Staggering what, and where, they do.

Could it be because it would allow him to have a set of written instructions which he could refer back to?

Or perhaps he wanted to ensure that he didn't mis-hear any instruction.

It was also possibly the case that his was the only phone available and like all mobiles had a limited battery life meaning a long call or lots of long calls during a long op would probably flatten the battery mid way through.
