Scripps medical is a massive San Diego based health care network and has been down for about a week due to a cyber attack. They can’t access patient data or appointment schedules. Patients can’t make new appointments. People are having a really hard time getting in to see their doctors. Many women in the area go there for prenatal care, labor, and delivery, and they’re having to look for alternative locations to deliver babies.
but just asking a bunch of questions of the patient, medical history, known allergies, current medications... all of that can be used to temporarily administer healthcare to the people there who need medical assistance.
turning away pregnant women, who were scheduled to deliver, and just telling them "best of luck"...
is fucked.
write it all down, enter it all into the computer once the system comes back online.
everything is so needlessly complicated these days... i find it hard to believe we can't revert to paper and pen for a week without the entire medical system grinding to a screeching halt.

every place i've ever worked has had a "in case X we do Y".
you don't need to know the entire medical history of someone to give them stitches.

Unfortunately most medical businesses have gone paperless all electronic dumb huh?
yeah, i get that...
