He have been in shock from the shooting, and maybe have been on some pain meds? It's like he lost track of time, and kept speaking.

So they should print out all the patients' meds, orders, profiles, etc., at all times, just in case the computers go down? Because unless you have it all on paper, losing all of your devices means losing that information. To be sure, they have business continuity plans. They have backup generators for power outages, and they have backups of patients' charts in case the EHR goes down, so that they can print them out. But they do generally rely on being able to access devices to print the information. The only alternative would be to print everything in advance. They can *function* without devices, sure, but the problem is they would be stretched thin because efficiency would go way down and mistakes would go way up. If a hospital loses their devices, quality of care will drop, and there is really no way around that... Same as with any business that uses devices. On the bright side, we do have some iOS devices. But it will always result in lost efficiency to lose a large portion of devices -- always. And lost efficiency has consequences in healthcare.

I've definitely heard about the red heads. Nowadays, a good surgeon will always ask if you have any red-heads in your family. I told them I had weird responses to some pain medication. (I'm a non-responder to morphine just like my grandmother who was definitely not a red head or Irish. She was a mixed race brunette from Surinam) They asked me if I had any red-heads in the family and said no but that my grandmother was mixed race. African Americans also have some weird pain issues too. My last surgery was January, back surgery for cauda equina syndrome. From what the nurse told me after I threw up for the 10th time in 6 hours, the anesthesiologist threw everything she had at me to make sure I was out and not in pain. Apparently the nurse said she'd never seen so many meds used during a surgery. Surgery wasn't even that long.

Hospitals rely pretty heavily on Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) now. Bricked devices can mean nurses can't see the orders placed by physicians and know when to administer meds. There are backup systems, but if all devices were bricked, it could be very difficult to figure out what to administer and when. And there's a nursing shortage, so nurses struggling to figure out one patient means less time to spend on another patient. Maybe they finally get one taken care of, but in the meantime, another has gone downhill. I work at a hospital, and some of our devices were taken out. But thankfully not all of them; it seemed to be roughly half or a little less than half. Our IT department seemed to be very quick about fixing them, as well. I didn't hear reports of anyone at my hospital dying because of it, but it's not outside the realm of possibility.
