  If the system being cripple cost lives, that’s a failure of your procedures and systems.

  It shouldn’t take hours to override the system, why wasn’t someone on staff who was rained on the system? Why weren’t paper charts available sooner?

  If a crash like this cost lives, that’s your own negligence, not a computer glitches.

    There’s good reason that hospitals have their own backup emergency generators. A blackout absolutely would kill people.

      Yes, but they typically don’t just run the whole building, only vital stuff and emergency lighting.
