The "In computing" article section

I feel this should be moved to a separate article, perhaps with a link, or a disambiguation page. --216.36.132.66 (talk) 13:10, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to be WP:BOLD and do so. Kind regards, —Unforgettableid (talk) 21:41, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of the term?

These two statements seem to contradict each other: "In the computer industry, the term crash cart is used, by analogy to its original meaning in medicine"

"The phrase, as applied to computing, was coined independently from its usage in a medical context."

Was the computer term coined independently, or was it intended to be analogous to the medical term? Pfmiller (talk) 19:18, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The "History" section is wrong.

It was created in 1950.

[Doctor Is In | MIZZOU Magazine] - the article has a [1950 image] of the crash cart. It was (apparently) first used in 1962.

I'm not fixing the text myself because I have no access to the current footnote source and I'm not knowledgeable on this topic.

My understanding is that it originated at the "Erie County Medical Center" in Buffalo New York in 1968. I saw it on the news today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.88.113.11 (talk) 02:38, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This pages information is incorrect. I have tried to set up an account to change it, but can't log in.

Anita Dorr, RN worked in an emergency department in the 1960s as a nurse. She noticed it took far too long to gather the medical equipment required during an emergency. With the help of her fellow nurses, she made a list of all items needed and built a prototype of the crash cart in her home. Today, crash carts are used around the world.

Dorr did not receive a patent for her invention, and other medical professionals who created similar concepts around the same time have been credited with its invention as well. Dr. Joel J. Nobel was the first to patent the crash cart and is also credited as an inventor of the crash cart.

The article is self-contradictory at the moment, citing first invention at 1962 AND 1965. Cannot be both... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.55.55.56 (talk) 21:43, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
