jmcgough 14 hours ago | next [–] Took down our entire emergency department as we were treating a heart attack. 911 down for our state too. Nowhere for people to be diverted to because the other nearby hospitals are down. Hard to imagine how many millions of not billions of dollars this one bad update caused. reply HaZeust 3 hours ago | parent | prev | next [–] Yup - my mom went into the ER for stroke symptoms last night and was put under MRI. The MRI imaging could NOT be sent to the off-site radiologist and they had to come in -- turned out the MRI outputs weren't working at all. We were discharged at midnight by the doctor, the nurse didn't come into our exam room to tell us until 4am. I can't imagine the mess this has caused. reply jmcgough 2 hours ago | root | parent | next [–] Hope she's okay. For better or worse, our entire emergency department flow is orchestrated around epic. If we can't even see the board, nurses don't know what orders to perform, etc. reply davycro 5 hours ago | parent | prev | next [–] The system crashed while my coworker was running a code (aka doing CPR) in the ER last night. Healthcare IT is so bad at baseline that we are somewhat prepared for an outage while resuscitating a critical patient. reply

For people who haven't been following this, a Crowdstrike update has caused Windows boxes to persistently BSoD on boot.
Some embedded devices don't have a nice remote recovery protocol and can't be recovered without basically sending the device to the factory or opening the device up and attempting to get some kind of unusual access that users aren't intended to have, which has caused problems for hospitals, factories, etc.
There are some reports that repeated reboots may get past the BSoD.
