There's no one who should find this funny. Fucking with charting systems in hospitals will kill people or cause them harm.

The use of kirk's name is especially strange, because it seems both utterly stupid and poised to instigate maximum arguments. "No, it was a lefty person! No it was a right winger!"

Are we at the point where 12 year olds are hacking hospital systems to score internet points, totally oblivious of the consequences? Cause that's that sort of nihilist edgelord garbage attitude seems like what this is...

100%. It's like a hacker & troll combined, toying with the literal satefy of people who rely on medication.
