Looking back "uncaring" is an illusion. We all care. In some way, regardless of our actions, there is always motivation. That nurse respected the guy when they could have treated that man like a child, cattle, or vermin.
1) they offered care
2) they gave them freedom
3) they let the guy choose for himself
They didn't:
1) deny them care
2) disrespect their wishes
3) harm or hinder him in seeking care
Like it's obvious the nurse was frustrated and sharing the delusional behavior of the guy. Being objective about it. Not being personally motivated to pump the patient full of sedatives and intubate him over and over until he finally couldn't be resuscitated anymore. Or his insurance stopped coverage. Which is exactly what would have happened if they had gone against the patients wishes.
You do not fully understand what is at play here. The costs involved. Nor the torture that would have put the patient through against his will. In the very vain attempt to get him to change his mind or teach him a lesson.
At some point you just have to respect everyone's god given right to be stupid and experience death in their own unique ways.
