I would have done exactly that.
Edit: Of course, I'd never have offered the contract in the first place. Maybe the GM should be fired as well.

Well, what if the team's medical staff and also 2nd & 3rd opinions all concurred that there was a extremely-high likelihood of full recovery? While that's not a guarantee, it's certainly enough to sway a GM & owner into going for it - perhaps among a sea of other teams lining up to pitch offers, too.
And then of course since that
extremely-high likelihood isn't 100% certainty, by definition it is possible the highly-unexpected happens. In that case, a mass-firing of the GM and medical staff would be more of a lash out, Steinbrenner-type of move. (Doc:
"I told you that it is highly-likely he recovers - and my collegues plus the 2nd and 3rd opinions agreed. But there's no guarantee in medicine.")
The specifics vary, but IRL, things that seem like nearly sure bets don't always work out. Nobody is to blame except for the guy with the crystal ball who kept his mouth shut.
