Like Robert, he had signed a waiver that he was not to go on a ventilator. The hospital had a policy that if someone was agitated - and he was when they suggested he would breathe easier on a ventilator - and he said to them I don’t want to be ventilated and I have signed a hospital document. BUT, IF they become agitated, the hospital can sedate them and if they sedate them and they are having breathing difficulties, then because of that 1 hospital policy, they overrode his request. He never gained consciousness. Cirsten had a similar thing happen. Overrode her signed waiver.
