On the battlefield it is known as "triage". I hope we don't get there in the USA.

I suspect that triage in USA won't be on the basis of likelihood of recovery but more on the basis of ability to pay.

I don’t think actual healthcare workers think like that. That would be the hospital administrators or insurance companies. I expect medical professionals will do triage based on estimate of survivability.

@Apunzelle it would be nice to believe that you're right.
