If someone has life-sustaining medical equipment on a public network, they have lost their minds. Everything about that is likely subject to privacy regulations of some kind. It would violate best practices of network security with a vengeance. If someone has life-sustaining medical equipment and they're not maintaining it by ensuring it gets it's patches in a timely fashion, then that right there is where the blame starts. Doing so is no better than ignoring frayed wires on an extension cord. The real horror is that such poorly designed devices would ever be deployed for such important uses. Things like BrickerBot don't even show up on the same scale.
