Paying a ransomware attack tomorrow is very much better, than not having critical medical data for the emergency right now. Of course not having a public facing medical database based on PHP, would be even better, but that might not be a decision that they are able to make right now.

Either way you're having a day or more of downtime. No reason to assume today is worse than tomorrow.
