As sad as that looks there is a a lot of context missing. What about his behavior was the staff worried about? How and why was the child determined terminal? Coming in late and not knowing the backstory opens this up for a lot of different interpretations.
It's called utilization review, or what others call death panels. This is the case in every socialist and communist healthcare system functioning on Earth today. NHS is this case has a spreadsheet. They plug in the appropriate identifier codes for the diagnosis. The spreadsheet has historical data on survival rates, as well as the final cost of treatment. If the ratio falls below a threshold set by a bureaucrat, the state has decided the chance of survival of this girl is not economical. The sooner she dies the more money they save, her survival is no longer a priority. That ratio is adjusted based on the state's budget that year, which can be impacted by things like donating money to minorities and other lefty "equity" programs, housing immigrants, donations to Africa etc.
Keep in mind, individual Doctors are not making this call, they are just making a diagnosis. The spreadsheet decides if the girl lives or dies, removing the personal agency from the Doctor so they don't feel like murderers.

"Okay, but what about death panels that determine whether or not it's 'worth the cost' to try to save someone's life?"
