show me power or die

  • they/them

last post is really interesting to me + also calls to mind some stuff I've read recently about infosec practices in medicine and how 'best practices' can unwittingly create bottlenecks in what has become a necessarily very well-established process.

it's fascinating how like, when it comes to what's happening at point of diagnosis or treatment there's often room to iterate and seek better/more efficient options, but when it comes to the flow of communication/authorization/delegation between those two poles you really can't afford to mess around much.

(I used to do porter work at a hospital so this kind of thing still always catches my eye a little bit)

i was in the hospital a lot last year and many of the folks on call there had both some kind of pager & a work android phone and one thing i noticed was that they were constantly complaining about the device / app crashing or being unresponsive. so while i think we can do better than pagers, it does seem like the complexity of making an app on a non standardized device leaves too much room for error for it to be a reliable replacement for a beeper. and like, yeah, dont even get me started on infosec in that sector
