I have repeatedly said the removal itself was heavy-handed (although security staff/police deal regularly with people who refuse to accept the law and a certain amount of physical persuasion is unavoidable and justified imo). Much like the forced grounding of drunk/drugged drivers who won't accept hand restraints.
It might just be me but I find the Doctor's "I want to go home", "just kill me" snivelling, just a little irrational. Who acts like that? But I suppose as you say, if he wants to scream like a cornered polecat, he can; my view is that most, rational adults don't behave that way. He could have left voluntarily, and unassisted, as asked, been escorted off with a hand on his shoulder or screamed blue murder until he had to be dragged off. He invoked the latter (but held on to his iphone when 'unconscious') which was then carried out over-enthusiastically.
