This is a little bit naive, I don't think you've really thought a great deal about how healthcare works. You're talking about a basic triaging system in ER (or A&E or whatever it's called in your locale) - this is something that every hospital does already. It's kind of obvious you're young (20-something or at the very most early 30s), but just remember you're going to be "infected" by old age one day. You'll likely feel a little bit different about the whole old people are just ill and die attitude then. And that's not even to mention the elderly who are alive today who we are responsible for and should feel compassion for. A bit of empathy goes a long way :)
