If you have 100 patients who all need to be ventilated and only resources to put 75 on ( assuming multiple patients to one vent) how do you decide? a coin flip?

You have a few options: first come first served, $$$$, or death panels.
You decide on the one big most acute medical need, That’s how. You don’t get to play this game of the 80-year-old only has 10 more years left so they’re less important than the 40-year-old..
You don’t get to use who you think is more valuable is a metric. You can only use medical needs. As much as that pisses off collectivist jerks.
Way too many medical people would be quite happy being a nazi at the train depot, making selections. They breezily move from medical decisions into social decision making based upon what lives they think matter most. They do the same with abortion.
And news flash. Most of the medical community is extremely leftist. Want them to find out you are MAGA over 60? A surprising number would be willing to give you a lethal injection outright but f it was legal.
