Should we deny treatment to, say, skydivers or skateboarders? Race drivers?

No I don't think we should deny treatment to anyone; I wasn't advocating for that.

The question is more, is there a theoretical end to care when the patient has failed to respond to treatment? Is there a point at which we prioritise those resources for someone else who is also in need?
