If someone gives out their cell number to business types, or lets people they know do it, then that's what they have to expect. If he makes himself reachable to business contacts in the hospital, that's his problem.
But... that's probably one of the last things I'd expect someone to say, when calling about references. A ways above, "Sorry, I died last week," but still pretty far down the list. Weird.
I don't even see how it's a problem. Seems to me like he had a reasonable response and managed just fine. I so totally fail to understand the whole "cell phones are such a hassle" meme when they're just so ignorable! I do the "oh, I don't feel like talking to that person right now" thing probably at least once a week. If it's important they'll leave voicemail and I can call them right back and tell them sorry I couldn't find the phone in time to catch the call, it was hiding in my bag (and, hey, this afternoon that was actually true!)
He didn't seem to have a problem with it. I admit I was a bit surprised, having made the assumption that I would be talking to a guy sitting at a desk in an office building somewhere. :)
