Walaikum Assalam.

Aslam bhai kya haal hain aapke umeed karta hu khairiat se honge. Bohat khushi hoti hai ye dekh ke, ke students enthusiasm show karte hain aor aage se question bhi karte hain jab unhe koi confusion hoti hai toh. It's also a pleasure to read that you're a health department employee. It's always a pleasure to see my fellow countrymen doing good. Now coming towards your question.

Though Person A, who has third-degree burns, needs more attention than Person B, who has second-degree burns, we have to consider the following:

The situation

The environment

The consequences

Person A, with third-degree burns, will likely require surgery, possibly a skin graft, which cannot be performed in a rural area. Since they are calm, their condition can be managed momentarily.

On the other hand, Person B, with second-degree burns, is experiencing excruciating pain and deserves immediate medical intervention. If this is not provided, it could result in serious complications. According to the Law of Beneficence, priority should be given to the patient who can benefit the most from immediate attention. In such an environment, there isn’t much you can do for the person with third-degree burns, is there?

I hope that clarifies the situation
