Unnamed Administration sources reported that Daniel Golding said:


"It was Dr. John Halamka, the former emergency-room physician who runs
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center's gigantic computer network"

It appears what really happened is that they put an emergency room doctor
in charge of a critical system in which he, in all likelyhood, had
limited training. In the medical system, he was trusted because of he was
a doctor. The sad thing about this is that there seems to be no
realization that having experienced networking folks in this job might
have averted a situation that could have been (almost certainly
was?) deleterious to patient care.


Did you, in fact, read Halamka's resume? He sounds to me like
he has more smarts in the networking area than many of the
RedmondWorshipers I encounter regularly.

Was he Sean Donelan or Randy Bush? No.
