Not the Best Use for WiFi

This is scary. Hospitals are using WiFi for IV drips to cut costs. I'm all for technology, but WiFi is not the best solution for this. It's not even a good solution or a bad solution. It's not even a solution at all. I hope they've got their malpractive insurance paid up.

I love WiFi and use it daily. It works well. It is not secure. It is not always reliable. It's great for surfing the Web and reading email from a laptop free from all cords. But I'd sure hate for my medication and my life to depend on it. Posted by Chris on 7/20/2004 12:10:00 PM :: Permalink
