From the article, it sounds like the alarm in question was accidentally not turned on... bad process instead of it being turned off due to annoyance? I don’t know.

I don't understand why there is a process regarding turning off critical alarms in a hospital. Surely you can't save that much money doing it and they've already said the noise isn't to blame. I may have missed something but I don't get why they were turned off in the first place... Totally ridiculous.
