I have personally witnessed doctors order surgically implanted feeding tubes (aka gtube) for literally no sound reasoning other than “just incase”. I would not put it past an overworked, egotistical doc who spent all of 15minutes involved in the case and got his or her feelings hurt by a parent or relative who dared to question their medical treatment. It’s nuts but I have seen this play out in my personal life and people around me: people have no idea that they are in charge of their own medical care, and on occasion accept terrible advice. Wish I had solutions other than “be informed and willing to assert your rights” - because in the situation, that is damned difficult.
