"In the operating room, Miller recalled the case coordinator phoning her supervisor at KODA for help once they saw signs of life. The supervisor insisted that the case coordinator needed to “find another doctor to do it,” Miller recalled."
Absurd. The supervisor needs to be charged with attempted murder, and the entire medical system needs to be restructured to change the incentives and accountability mechanisms. That something so clearly murderous can take place in a seemingly mundane manner speaks to healthcare being deeply dysfunctional at a systemic level.
Though I haven't seen anything as obvious and cruel as this, I have seen pretty extreme lack of regard for patients in healthcare systems around the world, so it's not just in the US.
