Fatherly instinct drove a doctor to help his daughter instead of a man in a far worse condition after the pair overdosed on heroin, a coroner heard.
Dr Jack Kerry gave evidence to an inquest into the death of Lucas Adam Pike, 43, who overdosed inside Dr Kerry's Adelaide CBD clinic in March 2016.
He told the coroner on Thursday he found his patient Mr Pike and his daughter Athena Kyriacou unconscious and instinctively began CPR on her.
'I went straight to my daughter,' he said.

The coroner heard Ms Kyriacou (pictured), Mr Pike and Mr Campbell bought $150 of heroin
'I didn't know whether she was going to come out of it and I didn't know whether Luke Pike would come out of it.'
He agreed Mr Pike was in a far worse state than his daughter but said the man had 'gone past the point of no return'.
'One look at him, I thought he'd had a cardiac arrest, I thought he was dead. His lips were blue and his face was a reddish hue, not moving at all,' he said.
However, Dr Kerry said Mr Pike's condition was not a factor in his decision not to work on him.
'If Luke Pike had been the only man in that room... I would have been straight onto him straight away,' he said.
Ms Kyriacou was taken to hospital for further treatment and recovered. She is now trying to start a modelling career
Ms Kyriacou told the court Mr Campbell, who has since died, injected her and Mr Pike at the clinic and then collapsed minutes later
Dr Kerry directed another man Mark Campbell, also his patient, to perform CPR on Mr Pike and briefly took over when Mr Campbell left the room.
Paramedics arrived a short time later and treated Mr Pike, but they were unable to revive him and he died at the scene.

The coroner heard Ms Kyriacou, Mr Pike and Mr Campbell bought $150 worth of heroin and visited the Hindley Street practice of Dr Kerry, where Ms Kyriacou worked taking blood from patients.

Dr Kerry's only son also died of a heroin overdose 11 years ago, and also had connections to Mr Campbell.
Earlier in the week, counsel assisting the coroner Naomi Kereru said police could have missed an opportunity to lay charges over the heroin supply.
On the night of Mr Pike's death, officers searched a Kurralta Park home after they established a link between his overdose and the address.
They seized drugs and cash, leading to the eventual conviction of a man on trafficking charges.
Ms Kereru said a syringe taken from the medical practice was never recorded in the police report or forensically tested, therefore could not be linked to the supply.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
