Software Bugs Can Cost Your Life Sometimes

I know the title might sound little strange but its true that software bugs need to be taken little seriously, There special people appointed by software companies paid thousands of dollars for software testing and report the bugs before the actual software is being released to the public and these softwares are being used by us, whether we are conscious about it or not, almost every device we use runs on a specially designed software.
Some of the software which are used in complex medical instruments can be a threat to many people’s life if they were not tested properly and debugged effectively for the these machines to work properly, recently there was a case reported in United States that a patient is been threatened to death by a machine resembling CT scan, Gamma knife is used to treat tumors in brain, person wears a special helmet screwed to his skull before being exposed to the focused gamma radiation exactly over the tumor. Gamma rays can be dangerous if anything goes wrong in the whole process and Gamma knife posed a threat to a patient when the emergency stop button failed to function and literally making the staffs of the hospital to manually pull the patient out of the machine and later it was found that it was due to the minor bug found in the software that makes the machine to run and function properly from the commands received from buttons.
Just make sure when your loved ones or known friends are been taken to special therapy or some treatment which involves machines that runs on specialized software works perfectly without any bugs or problems as this may pose a serious threat to their life under unwanted circumstances.
