I’m not disputing that this isn’t triage, but I just wanted to clear something up about what triage is: Triage happens everyday in emergency rooms of hospitals. Just normal every day triage is sorting (= trier in french) the patients according to urgency of care and availability of resources. Someone bleeding out will be helped before someone with a broken bone for example.
I don’t know if there is a separate term for the kind of emergency triage where some patients are left to die because of insufficient resources.
They’re in the ICU right now with Doctors saying they have the resources, they just need the authorization.
You’re talking about triage which generally only comes into play after massive casualty events.
