University VCs 5 years ago: We are running vast multi-million pound businesses - we should be treated like FTSE 500 CEOs and paid accordingly. University VCs now: We are just simple academics and humble public servants - we can't be expected to bear responsibility for government policy.
Exactly. If they had been able to give me the thing for a couple of weeks I might have been able to sort it. (Might - bearing in mind I didn't have access to the source code.) But people would have suffered and possibly died.
Believe me, I b*tched about it - I had to build connectivity to the bloomin' thing to extract data for management reports! Upgrades had been tried, but had all failed, and losing the x-ray machine for a few days to try to fix it was not going to fly.
I spent 8 years working in NHS IT, and... yes... but also... it's complicated - e.g. in one case, it was the only OS which the software that ran the x-ray machine would run on. What was the trust supposed to do? Bin a perfectly good x-ray machine?
