Scum

Well so far, my local hospital hasn't been affected, but I suspect it's only a matter of time. Which would be a real bummer for me because I'm booked in for surgery on Monday .
But then I think of people who need emergency care and it puts my situation in perspective. I've waited a year for this surgery, so I guess I can wait a bit longer if necessary. But for anyone who desperately needs life-saving medical treatment, well it doesn't bear thinking about, does it?

I wonder if it's affecting Rubylady?

Thanks to your for your post elegran
I have just called Drs to ask if my repeat prescription had been forwarded electronically to chemist as I had rather foolish forgot to call at the chemist before closing and I need meds for weekend.
As its Saturday tomorrow chemist would not be able to sort if there was a problem.

All computers down so reception could not check.
Dr issued another script.
And the lovely receptionist even though surgery was now closed , waited for me to rush up and collect my prescription.

A pain in the but for me, but an absolute nightmare for hospital, ambulance services and Drs surgery.

Yes Scum!!!

In an ideal world all that data would be backed up on an unhackable server.

We're too reliant on IT.

I totally agree with the thread title, though.
