A 72-year-old woman in Germany was arrested after she allegedly shut off her hospital roommate's ventilator...Twice! Apparently the woman was annoyed by the sound of the machine, so she decided to turn off the ventilator for the 79 year old patient. Even after nurses explained to her how vital the machine was and that it needed to stay on, the woman turned the ventilator off again later in the day. The patient needed to be revived and is now in intensive care.
