I'm not sure you've modeled my thought process all that well; it's certainly a novel experience to be labeled "optimistic".

If a patient had actually died because her physician couldn't access WebMD for an hour during the fundraiser, that fact wouldn't have been omitted from the indictment. Actually it would have been a typical-bullshit element of a typical-bullshit homicide charge. Internet interruptions occur regularly, and they very rarely have fatal consequences even in hospitals. If they did, hospitals would have more redundancy. Lots of people seem eager to criticize Gottesfeld for not somehow foreseeing this unlikely thing that didn't actually happen except in their own imagination.

That's revealing. We expect private individuals to act with perfection, so that no unintended consequence, however unlikely, could ever be imagined. Yet giant wealthy firms with lots of lawyers can run roughshod over innocent children, being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process, and they must simply be endured. How could the hospital know this handicapped girl wasn't simply imagining her symptoms? Actually lots of people at the hospital knew what was happening; nurses were quitting over it. Actually providing appropriate care for sick people is basically the reason that hospitals exist. Yet at every turn we give the giant abusive bureaucracy the benefit of the doubt.

In this case as in every case, DoJ stood ever ready to serve the interests of the wealthy, powerful, and well-connected. With gag orders, even complaining about abuse was grounds for more abuse! Policing a big urban hospital is not a good DoJ career move. Crushing little people who speak truth to power, even if only for an hour during a fundraiser: that's what really gets a federal prosecutor's juices flowing. We've seen enough from DoJ to expect this behavior, but don't imagine for a second it's justified by anything but their own craven self-interest.

[EDIT:] Rather pointless googling I'm afraid. It's not as though the interests of the wealthy and powerful are never found in opposition. By all means, though, keep trying to change the subject from your silly spurious movie-plot medical-procedures-dependent-on-constant-Facebook-access theory. I'm not sure that something as braindead as "CVS is just like this tortured handicapped girl" is any better though...
