Any idea what a triage is?

I should know but I don't.

    When 3 consenting adults get together for a fun time. Adult type fun.

    Or it might be where people's injuries are treated in order of severity, most severe (i.e. life-threatening) injuries first, in the context of an emergency. Something like that.

  • An assessment of impact and urgency in order to come up with priority.

    A three-way does not a triage make unless the three-way causes it to be needed.

    Well, you've heard about people pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital? That's triage. If you're not dead, they just don't talk about it.

    I've triaged many patients.. its assessing how soon someone needs to be seen by a doctor so they can prioritise the sickest first ... this also includes basic observations like Blood pressure.. Heart rate.. Oxygen saturations.. temperature... blood sugars etc..

  • Those that are going to die no matter what you do. .. Those that can wait for immediate attention. .. Those that to survive need immediate attention .. This is in a war situation but I imagine the basic theory is used in civilian hospitals

    It's a hospital thing. MD's get paid more than righty1. I'll leave it to them to explain...if they aren't too busy to show up here.

  • It's when rich people get better health care than poor people. The rich are richer and therefore more important.

    I'm pretty sure that is no where near the meaning. Congrats for being the most way off.
