How Triage Works
Emergency departments are places that have waves of people coming in by ambulance, by private car, on foot, and, in some cases, by helicopter. These people have all kinds of problems with all levels of severity. The nurses and doctors often endure unreasonable amounts of stress and suffer from exhaustion as there are usually more patients than they can safely handle at anyone time. As long as this continues, there will be casualties in terms of people dying with treatable conditions. |
