Police arrested a 72-year-old woman in Germany this week for allegedly turning her roommate’s ventilator off on two separate occasions, allegedly because the life-saving machine annoyed her.
. Although hospital staff told the woman that her roommate’s machine was vital to her health, she allegedly ignored their warnings and turned it off again at around 9:00 p.m.
Patients who use a ventilator machine are weaned off “slowly” before they start breathing on their own again and are generally not taken off suddenly to avoid complications,After the 79-year-old’s machine was turned off a second time, she was in need of resuscitation, according to authorities. While the older patient is no longer in danger, she still requires intensive care, according to authorities.
The 72-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of attempted manslaughter and brought before a judge in Mannheim on Wednesday. She was later taken to a correctional facility.The incident occurred at a hospital in Mannheim, located approximately 52 miles south of Frankfurt.
