I used to be terrified of that as well, until meeting many former medical device engineers in the Denver area who got out for moral reasons. However shit you think the community code is, the official code is probably worse. Like kills people and hide behind lawyers already worse.
It's not uncommon for these engineers to have a 'if I am incapacitated, do not hook me up to these devices' card in their wallet like you'd normally see for alllergies for products they've worked on.
