It is a terrorist acts we must not take lightly
My PCP still has his old Manila folder files.
It was only a matter of time. Us older nurses were always against being forced to use electronic programs
What kind of special evil are you that you’ll risk peoples lives to make a buck besides a republican
Just wanted to say that I am praying for the mentally ill and I thought NBC would be a good place to leave this
This should really cause panic. Ask Google this question. How many Americans die every day from Fentanyl? The answer is one every 8 minutes mostly young people and the reason is because Democrats keep that border wide open to get voters in for them. Sooner or later it will be someone you care about so remember that when you vote
Charging Americans hundreds of thousands of dollars for healthcare also puts patients at risk👍🏻🙃
Did the doctor just start his first day 🤔
Working in medical with paper charts & Then switching to the electronic charts I can tell you EVERYONE should get a print out of their MEDICAL VISIT & Keep an updated list of medications with them. Especially if you're a chronic pain patient.. Going through cancer or any serious long term treatment. It's now more than ever an almost life saving situation to keep copies of any visit to any medical facility. When those computers are locked up It's impossible for a Doctor to get information on you and there is absolutely NOTHING anyone can do about it until the system is back online. Electronic charts was a stupid decision to completely trust in for a patients medical care🤬
Go back to the door logs then.
3rd world country,, 🤔
Come on NBC…do some investigating and find out we're did the attack emanate from… I'll bet my house it's china or Russia , these constant cyber attacks by our enemy's can't go unpunished any longer!!!.😡💕🇺🇸🇺🇦
