[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the Pitt can function without computers, why can't the other trauma centers that are sending everything over to the Pitt?[/quote]

It's a fair question but I think the idea is that the Pitt had warning and therefore had time to set up an analog system. It's also just one trauma center sending patients to the Pitt -- there is another center down but they are routing their patients to a different hospital. So the Pitt is not the only one still running (it may be the only Trauma 1 though, I can't remember the nuance).

It's a thin premise but it doesn't bug me that much. I mean, I read a lot of sci fi and fantasy, and often the entire premise of a story will be very thin. But the point is to create a situation you want to explore because of what it allows you to say about people and relationships. They want to overload the ER with patients and also force them to work without certain modern administrative technology because it will allow them to tell certain stories. I'm okay with that.[/quote]

They clearly had systems in place to handle the network outage. I'd assume that they run drills for that sort of thing. Do I remember correctly, did the computer systems turn off when they disconnected the network? Why not just leave everything on and running, just not connected? [/quote]
