Should they have abandoned Peter?


I know this sounds cruel, but given the circumstances, should the hospital staff have abandoned Peter? After all, medical staff are desperately in needed elsewhere, and a boy suffering from cancer would have been a liability, tying down medical resources.

Lucy made it her mission to save that boy. And her staff came through for her as well when they sent help back.

An excellent question, but why did they save everyone else?

What's sad is that his parents are almost certainly dead since they couldn't be reached and never showed.

They wouldn't save a kid to be evacuated last. Or have a terminal child patient so near the main entrance (security) especially during winter (health)
