I’m horrified to imagine a blood pump or any life support system being network connected, or to rely on the precise time of day in order to function correctly. Accurate time keeping for anything in this realm can and should be done without a network.
The equation is different if the life saving surgery couldn’t be performed otherwise. Still pretty crazy and I don’t know how comfortable I’d be with it if I were the patient.
