A coworker sent me a pic of a user trying to charge a wired mouse with a surge protector. The user is a doctor. A surgeon.

I also see health care professionals break HIPAA rules CONSTANTLY despite everyone in my office telling them they're breaking rules.

Idk, trying to charge a wired mouse sounds more like sleep deprivation than incompetence. Especially if it happened in a hospital.

Well my mom is a doctor. She can do surgeries, clinic work, the whole thing. Sge does not know anything about computers. Electricity goes in and magic happens.

Me, an IT person, am also this way but about cars. It's also a machine with inputs and outputs but it's just "fuel goes in and magical propulsion happens"
