in my EMT academy we had a triage sim day n one of the instructors hopped in for fun. I black tagged him (rightly) but he made the most believable cries for help... like full on begging and wailing

Triage is a game you do not want to win

I cant imagine the medical staff in Gaza and how fast they’ve had to act with little to no resources 💔

The quiet part no one talks about is how we had to do this on the hospitals during covid. Not enough beds, not enough ventilators. Seared in my mind

Same training as soldiers for mass casualty events. You have to have right mindset for sure.

A friend is a paramedic, she told me the story of she was first on scene to a multi car crash and was triaging, she had to work on a young mother who was screaming at her to work on her baby

Triage training was the worst part of EMT classes, the made up scenarios were awful. I'm glad I never had to actually do it irl

I learned about this in college. I was a student actor for a mock mass casualty event and got the black tag. It was heartbreaking.

I dont think the general public understands quite how difficult this job is.

Long hours, mandatory overtime. I make $17 an hour and am in one of the "higher paying" counties. EMS is hard sometimes...

I was hospitalized in October, in the icu then transferred to main. I have a massive respect for all medical workers and what they go through.

As a paramedic this is definitely the toughest scenario. Basically we have to help the most amount of people with the limited resources we have. We’re only allowed to spend less than 60 seconds (1/2)

My friend was in the third row… he survived but was in critical condition for a long time. No one found him as he was burning alive.

As someone who has been triage officer a few times. It’s not fun, but necessary. Be decisive, and reevaluate. (More)

Triage in training is nothing compared to real life 💔 no matter how trained you are it’s still traumatic for the medic choosing who lives and dies 💔
