Stryker is far more than ambulance gurneys. They’re one of the largest med-tech suppliers, with equipment in operating rooms, ICUs, and surgical departments everywhere.

If a wiper actually hit internal systems, the bigger concern isn’t consumer data but disruption to manufacturing, logistics, and hospital support. That kind of outage could ripple through a lot of hospitals pretty quickly.

Go and switch your suppliers my friends, talk to purchasing now.

Stryker holds monopoly supplier positions for a number of medical products, esp including surgical implants and associated OR tools.

If Stryker stays down, supplies of some things will run out soon and many people will find themselves without medical procedures available.

Yet another reason monopolies are bad.
