[Avodah] Halachic Triage

[Rich, Joel]

In Minchat Shlomo Tanina (2-3) siman 86 R'SZA in discussing medical triage says (my translation) - see mishneh and gemara in horiyot....but I think in our time it is very hard to conduct ourselves according to this.

Is there any insight as to whether R'SZA was saying this from a practical point of you (i.e. we should follow priorities in horiyot but what can you do no oone will listen) or that something has changed in the halachic &/or fact realm that means these priorities no longer apply?
