  When it comes to healthcare, everything is always the doctor's fault. It's convenient to have a single target to blame for everything that goes wrong in the industry.

If an organization that runs three hospitals can't put together the IT to secure their PACS system with a decent password, that's the fault of the physician about as much as it's the fault of the nurse, the janitor, the cafeteria chef, etc. WTF is with people blaming doctors for literally everything related to healthcare?

Since the combined rise of HMOs and Medicare/Medicaid, and the massive hospital M&A splurge, we're just line workers. We try to do our best by patients, but we ain't in charge of anything.
