Was Misha's hospital death scene a parody on doctors?


At around 9 minutes into the movie, we see the death scene of Raghav's wife, Misha in a hospital's ICU. If you have already guessed, the scene is so far removed from reality that it looks like the film makers wanted to show doctors in a poor light by playing a parody.
Firstly, in real life, the resuscitation begins immediately, the medical team almost always being called upon by a medical personnel. The attendants (Raghav in this case) are then respectfully ushered out while the medical team delivers the cardiopulmonary resuscitation. If the heart's rhythm is shockable, one of the members delivers a shock while the other members continue with the chest compressions and mechanical ventilation. In the scene, since she was already intubated, so there was no need of manual ventilation. Nobody stands like a spectator, unlike the doctor that was shown in the scene. Everything happens very quickly in an orchestrated fashion. Secondly, to my utter horror, the nurses in the scene were seen pressing the belly of patient instead of chest (did her heart suddenly crawl up to her stomach?) and delivered shock over the right side of her abdomen, and that too, over the hospital gown!
Was that intentional or plain ignorance by the film makers? Did they even forget the fact that the heart lies in chest and not in abdomen?
