Yes, that was a reference to George Orwell's "1984" and perhaps you should be a little afraid. If you can't muster any fear, then at least join me in some confusion. Things today... they were a little weird. Let's start at the beginning though shall we?
On the way to work this morning, Frejak and I were talking as we often do and she mentioned to me that while playing one of their regular work games with Visure (they both work in the same office sometimes as they both work for the Queensland Government), she had come across an anomaly. It seems that on May 23rd of 2007, there are 23 patients for the Royal Children's Hospital entered simply as "Victim, Disaster" with their next of kin listed as the emergency ward. Frejak tells me that this sort of thing is only supposed to happen when the patient can't be identified. I'm also told that the RCH won't treat anyone over the age of 14.
Still with me? Let's recap. 23 unidentified children in the RCH records. I've spent the day scouring the net for any news article that matches those figures and haven't come up with anything. As an interesting aside, there are rumors of a code brown at the RCH for around that time and another one that they 'replaced' all the lab animals around a similar time. I'm intrigued. Some people have put forward that the records are simply part of someone doing training, but again, why 23 and why would they not be removed after the training was complete? Even more curious is why wouldn't they use the training DB that they have specifically for this sort of training? It's also been suggested that it could be data corruption, but again, if the names and next of kin had been digitally wiped somehow, wouldn't it make more sense to mark the entry as something other than "Disaster Victim"?
I'll leave that one with you... for now.
