I'm in healthcare IT. I serve the patient. Supporting medical care for the patient is my ultimate goal, and everything I do is in that effort.

If the people who run those machines are an obstacle to them functioning properly, then the patient suffers, and that is not acceptable. I am here to make sure the people/machines do their job for sick patients who need medical care.

That being said, I understand what you're saying, and I agree. And I appreciate the sentiment.
