Re: Key Medical Workstation Client Runs on Linux
by Doctacular on Saturday November 26, @04:01PM
Please do not confuse the goals and ideals of an OSS application and its community with the innate ability that a doctor has to prescribe the incorrect medicine or dosage to a patient when s/he isn't paying due attention to what s/he is doing. Just because an application is based on Linux will not mean that the doctor will not make that mistake. OSS applications and communities may well have the right goals, but they cannot completely eliminate a doctor's stupidity at times - just as a proprietary Windows (or other) application also cannot prevent this.
