Hospital IT soaks in a special set of impossible choices.
Vendors lock them to insecure OSes and inflexible contracts. Regulations are equally inflexible. In general, security is in tension with providing patient care, especially in emergency situations. And all this stuff is super expensive, which means making do with old gear in a lot of places.
I am in no way defending incompetence. But the reality is grim.
