Yeah it's actually annoying not to see every reply calling him immediately on that fantasist bullshit. Consent to treatment was one of the foundational tenets of western medical practice. Even obviously imminently life saving treatments can be refused for whatever reason and it was hardcoded in every professional guideline that that must be respected even if it meant watching someone die. They err'ed on the side of saving lives in the case of those incapable of consent, but even that is clearly accounted for by preparing do not resuscitate instructions in advance.
Unfortunately that's all in the past tense because somewhere around, oh, say 2020 they started taking a jackhammer to that foundation and filling the gaping holes created with hot, fresh horseshit.
