You managed a hospital and failed to implement emergency downtime procedures? (Because that is actually criminal.) Or do you have a source?

Deft goalpost shifting, nice.

Are you the orangutan doctor from futurama?

The commenter said they did not believe hospitals “have the time nor resources to pause and put in place an emergency downtime operating protocol” [1]. That is a reasonable guess. It’s not something one would expect from someone with “clinical or hospital administration experience.”

It’s a glib response, but so is “yes” to a request for attribution.

Apropos of anything else, “emergency downtime procedures” do not guarantee the same level of care as normal operations. I’ve worked in and out of hospitals as a critical care paramedic for years.

Agreed. It’s also plausible someone had a heart attack due to the stress of flight cancellations. Do we have any evidence of either?

The difference between a bridge collapsing and everything we’re discussing is there isn’t much of a discussion around who died and why.
