Do you ever wonder what you would do?

As a Doctor or a nurse..I often wonder how they would handle a situation like..
A wounded suicide bomber from a recent terrorist attack arriving in the ER for treatment.
Do you think they would make him or her just suffer..take their time to get to them?
Treat all the innocent patients wounded from the attack first.
I wonder if they can refuse to treat them...

No,they can't and wouldn't refuse. On my second tour in Vietnam i personally witnessed exhausted doctors and nurses at the 3rd Surgical Hospital (it was a tent hospital) care for enemy wounded same as they treated their fellow American patients which made me proud and even more respectful of them for their devotion and upholding their oaths. I remember seeing our combat medics treating enemy soldiers and risking their own lives to do so.
