Computer Virus Forces Hospital To Divert Ambulances
McGruber writes "The Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper is reporting that a hospital with campuses in Lawrenceville and Duluth, Georgia turned ambulances away after the discovery of 'a system-wide computer virus that slowed patient registration and other operations.' They're only currently accepting patients with 'dire emergencies.' A spokeswoman for the hospital said the diversion happened because 'it's a trauma center and needs to be able to respond rapidly.' The situation began on Thursday afternoon and is expected to last through the weekend."
What other operating system has viruses?
Run them out of business? My dear boy, has the wool been pulled over your eyes that far? The "health reform" that was handed down was a fucking bailout to the health care industry. Now instead of having a choice to pay or die you'll be forced to pay unless Obama gets your name off the list for certain levels of re-election support...
You've been sleeping. Wake up and see what will happen when you're beholden to a private industry by the force of federal law. If you can't see the pitfalls that await you than you seriously need to drop the video gaming for a while and do some research.
And I should know, I work in the health care industry and the high ranking management are happier than a pig in a foot of shit. They're beside themselves with joy and there are dollar signs in their eyes. We're already expanding certain health care departments faster than we can fill seats because of the windfall this is going to cause.
But don't believe me, go out and google it yourself! There are tons of articles about this being a burden on the tax payer and a boon for the industry that Obama and company claimed they were going to battle for you. You've been fucked like a two bit whore.
