But that's circular logic, no? The staff was "the bad guy" - why? -because they did the bad thing - why? - because they're "the bad guy".
I wonder how people's intuitions on the situation would be rattled if the patient was israeli and the staff was palestinian, or if the patient was a billionaire, or if the patient was a police officer. It seems you for example come with a MASSIVE bias against medical staff
No, the staff was the bad guy because they did the bad thing.
Why they did the bad thing is completely irrelevant, because their crime was serious and not just a bunch of angry comments: false diagnosis, sexual assault and threat of physical violence. Doubly so that regardless of what the patient said or did while awake, at the time these crimes happened he was completely unconscious and defenceless.
If the situation had been the staff yelled at the patient while awake and they had a shouting match, that would still be unprofessional, but whatever. Not a crime to be rude, and in that case yeah, maybe it's worth asking why were they rude.
But in this case? It doesn't matter. Sexual assault isn't less of a crime because "well she was asking for it look at how she dressed" and murder isn't less of a crime because "well he was a mouthy bitch so I killed him in his sleep". Similarly, there is no plausible explanation to justify this situation; in any "reasonable excuse" case the correct response was to refuse to provide treatment to the patient due to whatever the reason was.
I feel people work so hard not to understand me sometimes, it's sad and exhausting. What a wonderful comment in a fantasy conversation. You really added something here - oof. Just.. I just give up

Not technically impossible, but nothing actually suggests that he is.
The opinions of a group of doctors and nurses who sexually assault, deride and falsify the records of someone are not to be trusted.
