Patients may be lightly or severely injured, but they will all eventually die if theyre left unattended.
Some may have more complicated injuries that use up more hospital supplies, and require longer operations.
Others may be VIPs, whom your superiors would like you to prioritise.
And all the while, more of them are arriving in a steady flow of writhing bodies on stretchers.
The triaging proces is the heart of a cluster of other time and resource management systems.
And then theres the question of what you do with patients, once theyre healed.
You arent so much healing the sick, as producing the healthy.
These made me reluctant to zoom in too close an interesting complication of the top-down perspective.
