Working in the US's healthcare system I've seen similar levels of disregard for patient wellbeing. A man was unable to walk, it required me to essentially hold all his weight as he shuffled very unsteadily to a wheelchair. I almost got a back injury from a single transfer and it took like a week for it to feel normal. He had terminal cancer and it had spread into some nerve endings which made moving excruciatingly painful. To top it all off he worked for the hospital for like 20+ years. When they wanted the bed open, they were going to send him home to an unsafe environment where his family couldn't properly care for him.

I've also had to discharge a homeless man back onto the street because the hospital didn't want to wait a day or two to make sure they could find a safe hotel for him to stay at for like a week post-discharge. They view it as the system failing him, but they're not part of that system so they can sleep at night.

You have incidents where a TB exposure happens in a shared room and they conclude that the roommate didn't need to be informed. At least two patient deaths occurred on the unit I worked on that were as a result of pure neglect. One man fell out of bed and nobody checked on him throughout the entire night shift so when they were doing rounds they found him out of bed and dead. Nurse got no real punishment after that. Then you had an ICU nurse not check a patient the entire night and tried to draw blood out of a dead man and couldn't figure out that he was dead until someone else came into the room.

Mistakes happen, but hospitals care more about their bottom line and open beds, if the US had this sort of euthanasia program it would most certainly be abused to an even worse degree.
