There were two way pagers (receive and send). The receive only ones rarely interfered with medical equipment. But occasionally the local oscillators on receive only pagers would interfere with medical or sensitive research equipment.

Hmm yeah but then it was really really poorly designed equipment.

If they were that senstive that they'd even pick up a LO they'd be screwed by a police car mobile radio driving by, an FM station in the area etc.
