I use a Mac. What status do you place on me for that? Do you think I am
somehow better than you? Not sure what "status" you think I get from it.
Maybe you can explain that.

Also, my typical question, what tasks do you think Linux handles better than
the competition? There are some - but not many.

I know iPads are common in hospitals. Here, from infoworld:
<http://goo.gl/j34mzg>
    -----
    Despite what fearmongers say, iPads not only satisfy HIPAA rules
    but may be the best tool for doctors and nurses
    -----

And with HealthKit Apple products in general are a good fit:
<http://reut.rs/1Ff5sCk> [Routers]
    -----
    Apple's health tech takes early lead among top hospitals
    ...
    Apple Inc's (AAPL.O) healthcare technology is spreading quickly
    among major U.S. hospitals, showing early promise as a way for
    doctors to monitor patients remotely and lower costs.

    Fourteen of 23 top hospitals contacted by Reuters said they have
    rolled out a pilot program of Apple's HealthKit service - which
    acts as a repository for patient-generated health information like
    blood pressure, weight or heart rate - or are in talks to do so.
    -----

And if they want the best compatibility on the desktop I would not be
surprised to see Macs in many hospitals, too.

In some hospitals, sure. But they do replace old tech. Really.
