Linux in hospitals?

I was in the ED the other day and noticed that they use a mix of Windows 7 and Windows 10. My question is two part.

Do you know of hospitals using Linux?
Besides legacy software and unwanted downtime, is there any reason why they wouldn’t use Linux?

If you say you work in software, a lot of people are like, “The software at my job sucks.” So, I don’t know how much to take seriously and how much is just that everyone kind of hates the indignity of paid labor.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
