Which do you let die?

The concept of triage, deriving from the French word "trier" meaning to sort, was developed in the early 19th century by Dominique Jean Larrey, a surgeon in Napoleon's army. Initially conceived to manage battlefield casualties during the Napoleonic Wars, triage was a revolutionary method designed to prioritize wounded soldiers for treatment based on the severity of their injuries rather than their rank or nationality. This approach aimed to maximize survival rates by efficiently allocating medical resources and personnel to those in urgent need, those who could wait, and those beyond help.

Over the years, the principles of triage have been adapted for civilian use, extending into emergency services, hospitals, disaster response, and public health crises. It has become a crucial practice in emergency and disaster medicine, focusing on the optimal use of limited resources to save as many lives as possible.

Triage systems and models vary across different settings, but the core objective remains the same: prioritizing care to address the most critical needs first, ensuring that treatment is given to those who benefit most in situations where the demand for medical care exceeds the available resources.

Your total to-do list in your personal and professional life needs to be triage.
