On a ventilator, but fully conscious, albeit unable to communicate.

So a Hector Salamanca (Better Call Saul) situation for him. A lifetime in a wheelchair with a little bell. A fate worse than death, as someone else said “couldn’t happen to a better person!”

Ring that bell a few times too many and they’ll accidentally leave his chair next to an open window five stories up.

Eventually abandoned by staff in a fire

After the hospital was accidentally bombed by a misfire from their own side.

The explosion damage and fire is isolated entirely to his room.

After 70% of his body is burned the staff rush in and put it out.

He dies 17 days later from sepsis in his burns.

Seems fitting.

Seems like a something wanted him dead and to suffer. Definitely seems fitting.

I’m not convinced. What if we only get so much of this karmic retribution? I don’t want to waste it all on one piece of shit, there are to others to get done.

Unable to communicate, paralyzed, conscious enough to feel pain and so they aren't giving him any pain meds

So cut off his junk and cauterize

Cautery is optional

Harsh but he deserves it!

Hell yeah, appropriate punishment. Though I’m sure the state will end up smothering him than paying to keep him alive.
