Yes, it is very hard to know a priori, what is life-saving, and what not.
No, I do not wanted to suggest that the work of doctors it is not important.
The common understanding of doctors (their self-understanding included) is, that their work is very important, to the point that they exploit themselves. Or allow themselves to be "exploited".
In this forum, more commonly you have people here working on productive systems, which can empathize with the feeling the responsibility for the operations and not wanting to drop the ball.
People with that mindset think, they may safe a patient / the system, but working oneself to exhaustion won't solve those problems. And on the contrary, the exhaustion may be a contributing factor of making things worse in various ways. One directly by your actions, the other indirectly by covering up systemic problems.
