i saw this same kind of thing decades ago...
i was fired after i confronted a "doctor" that had ordered a cat scan on a dying liver cancer patient.
the patient was "no-code", meaning if he went into cardiac or respiratory failure, they would let him die.
well, the patient coded 1/2 way through, and the "doctor" told the nurses and techs to finish the scan so they could bill it.
i went off...and then got fired.
this was back when almost everyone was 20/80, so the family would be paying for some of that scan on their dead father.
