  Damn, that’s going to be like 3 emails and a cyber security video for me.

    Yup, with a minimum completion time of 1 hour for the video training and the policies you have to read afterwards. Also remember not to click the super obvious phishing emails that obviously came straight from your own IT department. :D

  Why would a hospital have to turn away ambulances if their computers don’t work? They have phones and radio…

    Generally these computer systems do access control, patient charting, intake management and most other critical functions, just like the rest of the world.

    Blood banks and controlled medicines are likely gated behind access controlled doors, and without either it could cause major impacts to the ability to save lives

    The workforce is too adapted to suddenly go back to doing everything on paper without making serious mistakes.

    That plus not being able to access data that may only be available digitally for the same reason

  That is why you don’t use such operating systems in criticial systems.
