Mass Casuality Triage - So Many Patients, So Little Time.

Welcome: Mass Casuality Triage - So Many Patients, So Little Time.
Description: The pre-hospital emergency setting is a difficult place to provide healthcare. When "the big one" goes down the task becomes almost unthinkable. Having the skills to do proper MCI triage, can make the task easier, but the decisions made mean life for some and death for others. This poses an ethical and moral dilemma for the triage officers. Do you agree that some must die for others to live?
