Have you ever seen a dead body?
How did you feel?
Upset? Traumatised? Relieved? Like poking it with a stick?

Can't help being human
There's you and your colleagues on one side trying to undo the damage that this girl did on purpose. And the girl who obviously has bigger problems than can be solved in the ER/ A&E.
You don't want to think of your time/skills/energy and emotion being wasted by someone who for whatever reason doesn't want to stay alive.
If a Drunk-Driving victim comes in at the same time as the drunk driver did and both were critical and you could only work on one - which one do you work on? that's a philosophical question but I think it would be a natural human instinct to try and help the "innocent" victim before the person that got behind the wheel while drunk.
Good on you for doing what you do!
