I'm a retired as of Friday nurse. I had to evacuate patients once during a fire. Luckily we were able to do a horizontal evacuation into the next building past the fire doors. I had decided if we had to go down the stairs I was going to take as many ambulatory with me & leave the rest behind closed doors. I didn't want to die if I could save myself. So I was willing to leave behind very sick people to die a much worse death than a morphine overdose.
