Re: "It was customary — though not mandatory — that the physicist would run a test before the first treatment to make sure that the computer had been programmed correctly. "

This is truly absurd on two levels.

I assume the software is on a computer used to setup the accelerator, and not actually control it real time. If so, the crashing is not that bad, as long as you verify the setup.

But VAR made a huge mistake in not insisting that the verification be mandatory.

And I completely fail to understand how someone with a physics degree could be so stupid/ignorant as to not realize that the setup may not have been loaded when the system crashed in the process.

I understand that mistakes happen, but this is way past what one would expect.
