Idiots and Computers

I just read this article about mistakes in radiation therapy -- and how most of them are due to software problems. I'd love to blame the technology, but it's the people, of course: the radiation therapists who aren't looking at the screen, the doctors who aren't checking the patient's weekly doses, the computer programmers who haven't built an emergency/fail-safe mechanism into the software. The article is horrifying and takes awhile to read, but I feel strangely moved and fired up after having read it. People are morons. Morons, morons.
