Well what's the alternative? Get in a week long battle with the hospital while they struggle to locate and send a 500kb jpg? I AM talking about the American healthcare system here.

Yeah, I'll just grab it myself. It was a standing workstation right in front of the exam table and he didn't even close the browser. Would have taken 3 seconds to lock and unlock if they cared about security.
