Yep. Happens all the time in healthcare IT. "The doctor is one of our multi-million-dollar revenue generators, so we let it slide" is the excuse. Every time.

I've personally written up a chief radiologist before for it. Zero action, because "he made the facility $6m+ last year" in rural nowhere.

It was actually one of the helpdesk's interview questions - "how do you handle responding to a doctor whose machine is full of porn?"

No wonder years later they got slammed by ransomware.

Was the correct answer, "Ask my supervisor?"

		Partially! Fight Club. Never make any assumptions to the doctor. It's not their porn, it's somehow porn. Silently document/log it including evidence and report it to your supervisor. The project manager, when he was a PFY on the desk, made assumptions to the doctor. The angriest doctor on staff. I'm surprised he's still alive to this day after that, let alone in the C-suite now.
