Further more. That patient should have been bakeracted and sedated. He could have still been respectfully left off supplementary oxygen. Could you imagine if he got behind the wheel of a vehicle with that o2 sat and went unconscious? Let alone the huge number of other scenarios I can imagine. He was never in his right mind despite the claim to that contrary in the reddit post. He definitely was insane and dangerous. They could have easily eased his suffering and kept him comfortable without putting him through that code, and putting others at risk.
There's no profit in that either though. And that would have opened them to legal repercussions as well. However, I think any sane judge would not have ruled in favor of releasing him.
