Hospital software is going to have "bugs"...................plenty of different bugs in hospitals it seems

[Neuro]

In this case I don't think people need to be overly concerned about 'hackers', it would be way lower on my list compared to program bugs, medical incompetence, adverse reaction to drug which affects typically a small proportion of patients statistically, when prescribed according to guidelines, mechanical equipment failure, government agents hacking the system, hospital billing. Multiresistent hospital bugs. Unless you are in an immediate life threatening condition you may stay away alltogether...

[Glass]

its just another cover under which they can off you and get away with it. Get a few death pathway or no resuscitation agreements in place. Government might pay ~$150K a piece if some one dies while on one of these agreements. Great free money spinner.

The only reason to go to a hospital is to die anyway. that's what they're for.
