I don't think that is comparable at all. The child in your scenario is not seriously injured if it is even injured. Kashi's clients are injured and it sounds like some of them are either deliberately making it worse or are in too much psychological pain to care. No harm comes to a child from giving it a bandaid when it isn't needed. Harm does come when anyone with a serious injury isn't tending to it on their own. Kashi can't be there 24/7 for them.
(Growly - not criticizing Kashi here, I am sure he is doing this out of kindness, I just wonder if he's not also playing with fire.)
