alt Hacker NewsThere’s even more hospitals and clinics who have a radiology department but no Radiologist onsite to read the exams. It’s all sent offsite to remote Radiologists sometimes 100+ miles away.
Disrupt the internet and good luck getting your emergent studies read by doctors who don’t look at anything to do with the scans and X-rays they order other than the Radiologists report.

Surgeons look at X-rays all the time in the OR. Especially ortho.
In a crisis, the surgeons will do the radiology. And they will bitch about it, but it will get done.
That seems unrelated to me. I can (for example) email an image to someone anywhere in the world without ever connecting my camera to the internet.
