According to the gemara quoted above, it would seem that if two men are drowning, one healthy & one with a physical disability which prevents him from doing some mitzvos(such as blindness or deafness, or another physical or mental disability); then saving the healthy man should take precedence, since he can perform more mitzvos. Is this indeed the case?
