I can't imagine NHG's IT system down, the wait time at polyclinics are horrendous these days...

Updates from Twitter:

I am not sure whether they have since changed the system, but back in 2010 the NHGP Polyclinics still used paper records for consult note entries.

They used the Sunrise system for managing prescriptions and investigations eg blood tests and X-rays. My memory is a bit fuzzy because 3 months before I left for Canada I left the Polyclinic to work at the A&E and they use Sunrise also but with the consult entries in the system.

Oh well. Polyclinic doctors see insane number of patients lah.

50 is pretty standard. 70 if you are pretty fast doctor. I have hit 100 before on many occasions. (Polyclinic opens from 8am to 430 last registration)

I used the 正 to keep track. 5 patients made one 正 word.

Not to say that seeing fast is good. Actually seeing fast means know how to navigate system fast and just give patients whatever they want.

wanna cry exploits vulnerability in windows os. 1st thing i.t. departments the world over send out updates immediately to users and clients to refresh software. the right thing to do in europe and america is stop, shut off windows os and don't use your pc's and laptops until non-peak hours. otherwise, europe and america will just contribute to the problem. it's friday anyway. just have a longer dinner (europe) and lunch (america) and use your ios or android mobiles and macs or chromebooks. for windows users, power up and do your software update (security fixes) after dinner. catch up on work if you have to at late hours. at your next work and home laptop refresh opportunity, get a macbook.

全球网络攻击波及中国 因美国网络武器库泄漏

　　新华社北京５月１３日电 综合新华社驻外记者报道：全球多个国家１２日遭受一种勒索软件的攻击，受害者包括中国一些高校和英国多家医院。据了解，这种勒索软件是不法分子利用了美国国家安全局网络武器库中泄漏出的黑客工具。

　　中国网络安全公司３６０首席安全工程师郑文彬告诉新华社记者，电脑被这种勒索软件感染后，其中文件会被加密锁住，支付黑客所要求赎金后才能解密恢复。据悉，勒索金额最高达５个比特币，目前价值人民币５万多元。

　　据郑文彬介绍，中国此次遭受攻击的主要是教育网用户。这种勒索软件利用微软“视窗”操作系统４４５端口的漏洞，国内一些网络运营商此前已封掉了该端口，但教育网并未设限。微软此前已发布相关漏洞补丁，但一些没来得及更新的电脑就会被攻击。郑文彬说，此次传播的病毒以代号ＯＮＩＯＮ和ＷＩＮＣＲＹ的两个家族为主，监测显示国内首先出现前者，后者在１２日下午出现并在校园网中迅速扩散。

　　英国多家医院的网络当天也受到攻击，有医院因此取消手术，用救护车将病人紧急转往其他地方。英方称罪魁祸首是恶意软件“想解密”（又称“想哭”）。英国首相特雷莎·梅就此表示，这次袭击不是专门针对英国，而是一场波及整个世界的网络袭击的一部分。

　　西班牙国家情报中心１２日证实，西班牙多家公司遭受了“大规模”的网络黑客攻击。该国电信业巨头西班牙电信总部的多台电脑陷入瘫痪。

　　俄罗斯网络安全企业卡巴斯基实验室１２日发布一份报告说，当时已发现全球７４个国家和地区遭受了此次攻击，实际范围可能更广。该机构说，在受攻击最多的２０个国家和地区中，俄罗斯所受攻击远远超过其他受害者，中国大陆排在第五。

　　卡巴斯基强调，这次网络攻击所用的黑客工具“永恒之蓝”，来源于美国国家安全局的网络武器库。今年４月，黑客组织“影子经纪人”在网上披露一批美国国安局的黑客工具，其中就包括这个漏洞工具。

　　美国国土安全部１２日发表声明称，已获悉上述勒索软件影响全球多个实体。但是，声明除介绍勒索软件的定义、微软已针对这个漏洞发布补丁、提醒用户应安装补丁外，没有说明更多情况。

　　今年３月，“维基揭秘”网站披露了一批据称是来自美国中情局的黑客工具，批评中情局对其黑客武器库已经失控，其中大部分工具“似乎正在前美国政府的黑客与承包商中未被授权地传播”，存在“极大的扩散风险”。（综合新华社记者黄堃、马丹、林小春、梁希之、谢宇智报道）
