Amazing. I move that Syan be elevated to a living national medical IT
treasure.

Of course to end users finding someone to work out what should be not
null seems more difficult than continually haranguing the guys who made
the software. Admittedly the latter is often not an effective strategy
but it is something everybody know hows to do. (Please note that here I
am specifically not referring to Argus, who are to be warmly
congratulated and fervently supported, but to closed source proprietary
products.)

However, when we are talking about software that is of national
importance ensuring that there is access to the source code seems like
the only responsible thing for the nation to do.
