My guess would be because the "we're trying to kill her" thing is an extreme aberration of the regular order of things so as soon as the narrow window where that was somehow okay is closed the default practice of trying to help people kicks back in. Especially once she's in the hands of actual medical practitioners who take their oathes seriously.
