Our Mother Lives 300 Miles Away. She Was Taken To

Our mother lives 300 miles away. She was taken to the hospital from her assisted living facility due to a low pulse. Currently it is 48 bpm with a BP of 189/51. She is 95 years old, has a DNR request and stated that she does not want a pacemaker. The surgeon has scheduled the procedure for tomorrow, assuming he can convince both the patient and her family to agree.

What's his motivation???
