He told me he worked in a childrens hospital. Something about finally feeling tall or something.

Yup. Some people just dont understand how it works and click every link they can from poorly worded emails...

Some IT/compliance heads rolled recently as a result

We have a children's hospital that's part of our health system. Lucky guess

Yeah, security education and phishing exercises are part of my team's purview/responsibility.  I'll never forget at a previous job, I had an older lady walk up to me and tell me she clicked on an email she thought was from her cousin Judy and after that her PC went haywire(and started propagating across the network).  We had to clean that mess up.  In talking with her she admitted she didn't have a cousin named Judy but couldn't remember if she did so she clicked it.  Can't help stupid some times.

I can't tell you how many mandatory training exercises we've had or fake test emails get sent out to drive the point across. And some of these doctors STILL dont get it.

* we even have gigantic subject lines that warn when emails are created externally

Yep.  That example was actually at a hospital system also. It’s a bad problem.
