My SO works in healthcare in the USA. Logging in to the VA takes about 3-5 minutes. To do some research stuff she often has to doublen-RDP into a special machine that's allowed to see her anonomized datasets, inception-style. I'm a research engineer with lots of computational skills in a different field, but I can never help with a quick Python/scipy script because I'm not allowed to get near the anonymized data. It's frustrating because she could be at least 10x more productive, especially on data processing side, with a better IT situation. Most doctors don't know Python, but the ones doing research could use it.
The login thing is just obnoxious.
