My entire emergency department got knocked offline by this. Really scary when you have ambulances coming in and are trying to stabilize a heart attack.

Update: 911 is down in Oregon too, no more ambulances at least.



Do you have offline backup processes at least? Nasty situation.


We're really prepared for epic to go down and have an isolated cluster that we access in emergencies. I transitioned from software engineering so I've only been in the ED for a year, but from what I could see there didn't seem to be a plan for what to do if every computer in the department bluescreened at once.

But at least the best instant messaging app in the world Microsoft Teams and the best web browser in the world Microsoft Edge are working fine, right?


It's a bsod loop, so not really.
