Did these medical personnel play God?

You're wrong.

Anyway, the people killed were basically hopeless. By dying, they ensured that resources they would've otherwise taken were available for the rest of the patients in the hospital, until they were evacuated. I'm not just talking food or water, but significantly important medical supplies. It is outrageous that the doctors could be forced into such an otherworldly what-if scenario, and then judged by the context of everyday doctorin'.

When I entrust my money to the hospital and to the government, I expect - no, I demand - that I'll be evacuated if Hell rears it's face in my neighbourhood. But alas! Such selfish expectations live to be ignored.

Most amazing jew boots

You honestly think that doctors would kill people who did not need medical supplies to live, because the hospital was in a situation they perceived as hopeless?

I have no words.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
