With all that is happening in the world, and not to make light of the potentially serious consequences of the CrowdStrike upgrade debacle, I am offering a bit of levity.
Like most weekday mornings, Friday, July 19, 2024, was busy and I had a doctor’s appointment added to my calendar. To avoid the inevitable backlog of delays with doctor’s visits, I request the first appointment of the day, which is often 7:30 a.m. Luckily, I was the first one on the schedule today to have a scan done on my knee. When I arrived, I was told there were some system delays. Upon starting up the computer that runs the scanning software, technicians were greeted with the blue screen of death. I was finally able to have the scan done, and when I was leaving, one of the nurses said that several surgeries had been canceled for the day.
