I need more context, like you talking about medical people trying to save lives? Or something completely different?

It applies to both

@Miram don't medical people save people?

@Viper Just glorification. You tweak what they already have to help and buy them more time.

Save is a stupid word.

@Miram all people can do, is work with what they got

Yes.

I find the idea that we are heroes even more burdening , unrealistic expectations of oneself and others is large part of why depression and suicide is so prevalent in healthcare workers. It also reeks of the sense of superiority while service should be humbling.
