Evidently this wasn't the case. I agree. But some guy working in the 
blood-lab or front desk isn't supposed to get this type of access. Something 
wasn't right.

It sounds like you do agree. They did overtake the whole system.

    "some workstation shouldn't be able
    to access any resources like this."

When they shouldn't be able but they did have root access then something was 
wrong. This is a server/db that has patient medical records, personal 
information, billing records, etc. This needs to be locked down so that 
malware and rogue employees can't get anywhere near this stuff.
