Not so goddamn funny when you have a stroke and the CT scanner won’t function.
That’d certainly be true.
Was working at Duke in the ER when internet and local network went down.
It was turn your clock back to 1880.
Could not chart, write orders, see labs or X-rays, pull up patients or records.
Even phone and paging system went down. Nothing worked. Nothing.
We could write paper notes but that was basically it. Lab and Xray could not operate their equipment.
Sat there for 4 hours twiddling our thumbs while patients piled up in the waiting room.
