IF THE NOISE FROM THE VENTILATOR FOR THE PATIENT NEXT TO YOU ANNOYS YOU, JUST TURN IT OFF

By Bob Walsh

 

Hospital ventilator A 72-year-old woman allegedly turn off her German hospital roommate's ventilator because she was annoyed by its sound.  

 


It seems that an unnamed 72-year old woman in the hospital in Mannheim, Germany was irritated by the sound of her roomie's O2 equipment.  So she turned it off.   Twice.  

The public prosecutor obtained an arrest warrant for the woman, who is now a guest of the people in a detention facility.  The 79-year old victim is still alive.  She had to be rescuscitated and is still in ICU, which was where she was in the first place.

I wonder if the facility the 72-year old is any quieter than the hospital was?.  I somehow sort of doubt it.
