We might assume that a patient who is chained to their hospital bed must be restrained for good reason, but our guest challenges that assumption in a published account of a man in shackles who is intubated, sedated, and paralyzed in the ICU.

But how often do incarcerated patients actually try to escape while receiving medical care? Should a physician ask the guards to take off the shackles?
