I agree you should have the numbers on your phone and in your wallet - this is much quicker than looking them up online. But I like Google Docs, DropBox, etc. for keeping a backup copy in the event you are without wallet/phone. Most hospitals have Guest WiFi and I can't imagine I couldn't find someone in the room to lend me their phone/laptop for 5 mins to look it up.

While I agree with your InfoSec standards my IT consulting time says most businesses are overwhelmingly wide open (including many major hospitals). :-(
