I think Copenhagen Ethics is the correct perspective to apply in this situation because if you’re helping someone other people look at the patient and think “this patient has already been helped”. By providing assistance and then abandoning a patient you can do more harm than good by preventing others from helping.
I did leave out some important qualifiers.
