Ag Kat's Tumblr

I'm a trans woman in her late twenties, I reblog stuff and occasionally actually talk about things.

How to hack any hospital computer

How to hack any hospital computer (L337 version for advanced security systems)

-Use the password taped to the back of the monitor

As a computer guy: This is what happens when you have too much security. It reaches a tipping point and then suddenly you have none. Security at the cost of convenience comes at the cost of security.

This is true of so many things in healthcare.  Example: our software is designed to automatically alert the doctor if a patient’s vital signs are critically out of range.  If someone has a blood pressure of 200/130, the doc gets a pop-up box that they have to acknowledge before doing anything else.  It makes sense, in our setting.

But then some mega-genius upstairs realized something: the system was only alerting for critical vital signs, but not for all vital signs that could possibly be bad.  Like, yeah, 200/130 is potentially life-threatening, but 130/90 is above ideal and can have negative effects on health.  Should the doctors be allowed to just ignore something that could negatively affect a patient’s health?  Heavens no!

So now the system generates a pop-up for any vital signs that are even slightly abnormal.  A pressure of 120/80 (once considered textbook normal, now considered slightly high) will create the pop-up.  We have increased our vigilance!

Well, no, what we’ve actually done is train doctors to click through a constant bombardment of pop-ups without looking.  We’ve destroyed their vigilance and made it much easier for them to accidentally skim past life-threatening vital signs.

But you can’t tell that to management, because you’d have to confess that you are a flawed human with limited attention resources.  They’d tell you “well, all the other doctors take every abnormal vital sign seriously, it sounds like you’re being negligent.”  And if you’re smart, you back down before you start telling the big boss all about your habit of ignoring critical safety alerts.

The end result is exactly the same as if we had no alerts at all, except with more annoying clicking.

this here is an absolutely fascinating overview of how and why this happens

People who prefer hot weather: Snow and ice are a pain, and the cold is just kind of uncomfortable even when you wrap up, you know?

The cold is easily shut out, the heat is inescapable hell

[dashuramode]

THE TRUTH COMES OUT.

Avoidance techniques for the cold:

-more coats, fire, hot food and drink, stay inside, fuzzy sweaters, ear muffs, become a burrito

Avoidance techniques for heat:

-die, I guess.

It’s really important to know that trespassing and vagrancy laws in the US were more or less made up entirely for this purpose. Until we hit on the idea of rent-a-prisoners as replacements for slave labor, it wasn’t illegal to just hang out in public not doing anything, or wander through someone’s yard on your way somewhere else, or to camp on public land. The very first known enslaved black person in the US was an indentured immigrant named John Punch. We know his name. Indentured labor at the time was either a financial arrangement people either entered into willingly or was a sentence for a crime. Punch and two white men were laborers who attempted to flee their service and were caught. The two white dudes had their sentence extended by one year. Punch was sentenced to a life of servitude.

It started with prison and it’s come back to prison. It’s still prison. This is still happening. It’s not over.

If this picture doesn’t make you want to vomit I don’t know what to do with you.

This documentary is called “13th” and it’s on Netflix. It’s also good to be more conscious of your purchases by researching what types of things a manufactured here in the states through slave labor. Also research “fire camp” for prisoners as well. The exploration of the systems is real, and it’s done intentionally.
