- Ascension Health is dealing with a widespread ransomware attack that has caused interruptions for nearly a week.
An Ascension patient tells TMJ4’s Megan Lee it's the perfect storm.
"And I'm afraid if something gets worse, where am I going to go,” Annette Strini said.
Strini’s doctor is on vacation at the same time there is a ransomware attack affecting the hospital. She is also facing a health scare.
"I'm getting mixed signals,” she said.
She has many questions about what the next steps are for treating her major colon infection.
"I'm frightened. With the Diverticulitis it’s not healing like it should. I was on a lot of strong antibiotics. I got off them maybe over a week ago and it doesn't feel like it’s going away and I'm scared,” Strini explained.
She said her doctor’s office can't access her records. Ascension Health said in a statement, “Systems that are currently unavailable include our electronic health records systems and various systems utilized to order certain tests, procedures, and medications.”
The cybersecurity issue is creating confusion for Strini.
“This person says this, the other person says this. I'm confused. I'm afraid to eat,” Strini said.

Assension should be given their patients more quality information. I’m surprised they didn’t hire an agency to do quality control.
I work at an ascension--guess what-the bills got deleted as well!!!!!🎉❤🎉
Are you serious? That’s exciting and awesome in a way but in another way that’s not good because we don’t want government run healthcare that’s not good for anybody
iam a it tech i would have had this fix in 1 week
You have to feel bad for the workers there. Cyber attacks are creating a lot of havoc in a lot of places. I think one thing I will do is create a folder with all my printed health info from my online mychart. That way I will have it if there is an emergency and I need those records for those who are treating me.
Yeah it's bad my doctor's at st Joseph's they were so stress out because paper work had to be done by hand yeah its pretty bad
Annette ..Dr Berg..Pottengers Human.. You tube(heal the gut)I don’t understand why she has insurance that only covers her at one doctor and one office. I’ve never heard of that. That’s awful.
People are looking for remedy for Al Gore nightmare that he created
Rest assured your medical bill will still arrive on time.
Rest assured the ransom ware took care of those as well.
Go back to pen and paper.
