A 72-year-old woman has been arrested after she allegedly switched off a hospital roommate’s ventilator twice because she was annoyed by the sound it made, according to authorities in Germany. Prosecutors say that this 79-year-old woman ignored pleas from the hospital to leave her roommate’s ventilator running. The woman has been charged with manslaughter.
Now…hang with us here. We’re not saying it’s right to unplug someone from the thing keeping them alive, but imagine dealing with this sound all day? That’s all we’re saying – it must’ve been annoying. And if you don’t think so, keep this sound playing on your desk all day as you go about your workday. It won’t be fun.
