I have a hard time getting upset over this....sounds like triage.

Anyone who is getting upset over this needs to volunteer their services.

Exactly. If after 20 minutes the person isn’t viable enough to transport, then move on to someone who could survive.

In real life, in only 5-10% of cases does CPR actually save the patient's life. This drops to under 2% if it's a case of EMTs doing CPR on people whose hearts were stopped for some unknown time before EMTs arrived. EMTs busy doing CPR on people unlikely to survive are unavailable to save people who WOULD survive if treated.
