I inherited a project built by some recent college grads. It was for a dispatching system for nursing care. There were a number of bugs they could not solve, as usual. I examined the logs and the code. So, I pretended to call a patient that needed treatment for hemophelia and set up some treatment. I put that person on hold. Took a call from someone that needed blood clot busters. Hung up, hit save. then hit save on the first patient.
The hemopheliac got the records for the blood clot busters and their own treatment. The blood clot patient got nothing. Both would have died because of these geniuses. All because they used a single public variable to track the active patient.
Don't bully me to not to push better practices and ignore facts.
