Re: the OP...ahem
As A doctor...I would have taken the oath to do no harm...and I would be harming the sixth patient to save the first 5...leaving me vulnerable to a law suit where I will lose my license to practice medicine...making me unable to pay off my student loans for the 8+ years of education it took to become a doctor... left living on the streets where I will catch an illness perfectly curable by a medication...but I won't have health care so I will die in a karma like similar situation to patient six...
That is not a spiral I am willing to go down
