It's hard when the situation reaches panic-mode because people are dying around you. As a hospital worker, you feel very helpless when the only thing you can do is to help people die painlessly. As we're humans, we're easily affected by things around us, especially around death and life, and particularly at a pandemic. So when there is a slight possibility of helping people survive, even though you would normally never do something because you put emphasis on correct scientific procedure, you might give it a try, instead of doing nothing. I'm not arguing for it or against it, just trying to explain the situation and provide a different viewpoint for people who may never been there and hopefully never be.
