Don't let it be said UMC health care professionals are not trying to make things work as they suffer from a ransomware attack. Heather Wilson posted on Facebook:
Cyber Attack Apocalypse: Day 2.All systems down. No phones. No internet. No wifi. No medical record system.Today we put together over 500 binders for patient charts — by hand.I’ve been at UMMC for six and a half years. In that time we’ve navigated COVID, a major ice storm, and now a ransomware attack.When systems fail, our people don’t.Proud of this place. Proud of these people!!
Good job.

Good job, UMMC! I have several friends who work there and they have reported much of the same praise...their folks are stepping up! Thank you to all of you!
That's awesome! Good job, UMMC!
Uh thanks for doing your job that you are highly paid to perform…. I guess?
Are they going to fire the person that clicked on the bad attachment in their email?
I'm old enough to remember when we used pens and paper on a daily basis. Don't remember having to many issues with that.
I’m pretty sure if you review the State Employee’s handbook you will not find anything regarding cyber training failures in the list of offenses worth of termination. So nobody will be fired.
Does it take long to get a hospital systems worth of rented photocopiers delivered and operational? Their existing printers and scanners are currently off line.
Who says they are even an employee? Lots of contracted positions probably.
LOL
How do you think the current crop of under 40s would do with following ALL of the procedures ALL of the time that are necessary to properly operate UMMC and maintain patient records with a paper system? If you are old enough to know, then you know.
