The mass IT outage affected businesses, airlines, banks and hospitals around the world
A cancer patient says surgery to remove a four-centimetre mass from her brain was cancelled this week - due to the worldwide IT glitch. Chantelle Mooney was due to have a craniotomy on Friday, July 19, but says the surgery was cancelled following problems caused by a software update which resulted in major issues across the globe.
Minutes later, her surgeon came to explain they relied on Microsoft technology for scans, emergency medication, accessing medical records and more. After spending the morning waiting to see if the issue would be solved, at 1.30pm she was told the surgery would not be going ahead. She was told it had to be pushed back to next Friday .
“It’s a long surgery, it can be anything from four to seven hours, and at 1.30pm they came back and said there was no way they were going to do it, if it goes down again it’s too risky.
