... and medical device vendors and patient record systems have done their very best to make that impossible.
Hospitals can work without water, electricity and sewage ... but not without internet. Well, it's possible, but at 50% or so capacity (and I'm sure that number is going up)
A hospital filled up assuming 100% capacity that falls back to 50% capacity, however is going to be VERY tough to keep running for the doctors.
