Going on website by mistake on hospital vpn network

I'm a medical resident and I was logged in on my phone to my hospital private VPN network so I can access the patient EMR to access patient records from home. I by error went on/clicked on a website that had inappropriate images ( such as aka pornography), but when I realized this, i quickly closed the page. I'm a little nervous- this hasnt happened before: Can I be tracked by my hospital or get in trouble as a resident or from my program etc.
PS- I'm not trolling and this is a serious question.. thank you.
Update: this might've happened twice but closed the page right away..

Yes, you can be tracked and get in trouble.

You probably won’t because as long as you didn’t actually cause some sort of security breach because of some malicious content on the website, it’s a lot of effort on their part to go after you. So don’t do it again.

You were at your house and watched porn? I don’t see the issue there just do it on your own computer next time bro

Could you be caught?

Probably, if IT really wanted to go through individual records.

Will you be caught? Unlikely

What would happen if you were caught? Not much. You looked at porn at home. Whoopdeedo. Your attendings and program directors probably look at porn in their homes too, though likely not on the hospital VPN. Just don't look at it at work.

I don't think that it would be a big deal unless there was something illegal about the porn...kiddy porn, for instance. Otherwise, IT probably won't do anything. If they do, I think that it's important to be honest. If it was a one click thing...then fine. But if it wasn't...then don't try to lie about it. There are these things called cookies and search history that even a novice IT guy can figure out.

Or was @tiger2252 in a call room at the hospital, twice in one week?!

Use some common sense: only at home, only on your own computer, and only using a different browser than what you normally use with the settings set to automatically delete your history upon closing, thus protecting you from your wife (and if she catches you, explain that it's either this or prostitution, the former being much less expensive).

Not necessarily. Onlyfans can be quite expensive.

Sorry to ask- but what if this happened twice by mistake?

It’s still unlikely anyone is actively searching through logs to get you in trouble. But for goodness sake, turn your vpn off before you look at your adult content.

Honestly, I'm concerned you have a pornography problem. Consider getting help. People don't make this kind of mistake more than once.

But they are using their phone. If there's one time the VPN claims of anonymity are not to be believed, it's when using the hospital VPN.
