"The feeding tube broke, choking me." Not sure what that means. If an NGT broke off (how?) he'd have tube in his stomach. If it coiled up and was instilling a whopping 30-60mL of feed per hour into his upper throat, he'd spit once and get it pulled and reinserted.
"Both it and IV were too short to access the restroom." Previous photos showed his pumps on a rolling IV pole. Don't recall the model of tube feed pump, but I know for certain that model of IV pump has an onboard battery. (Tube feed pump probably does, too.) Unplug pump from wall, walk with IV pole to bathroom.
"I fell apart and discharged myself." It's not true that insurance won't pay if you leave AMA, but it can make follow-up difficult. Some doctors will be kind and write prescriptions anyway, e.g. oral antibiotics for someone leaving AMA with endocarditis because they'd rather get more heroin. Surgeons frequently write the discharge pain medication prescriptions well ahead of time, so a patient's family can fill them and have them ready prior to discharge, so it doesn't matter if that discharge is just a "fuck this; I'm out."
It's definitely something of note for further elective surgeries.
He's upset that the hospital brought in Security and started recording him, after he was recording them first. There's a lot of minimizing what started the incident, but then glossing over the patient's reaction to someone telling him they had to remove outside meds from the room, which is what would have escalated things. "Hey, you can't keep meds in the room; we can hold them in Pharmacy until discharge." / "Oh, OK." vs REEEEEEEE.
(I do suspect the surgeon did not write an order for ibuprofen PO PRN, keep at bedside, patient to decide dose/frequency, especially if the patient was simultaneously starving to death because he was completely unable to swallow for a day post-op of a surgery that's usually outpatient.)
