And triage means what?

A few stolen moments while I wait for the night shift to come and rescue me from a busy day spent triaging in Emergency. As a patient asked today "and triage means what?" so I explained that it meant they got to tell me their story, I check them out and give them a score and that decides how quickly they get seen. Kind of like dating really but a lot less fun to be checking out folks who cough or sneeze on you. It was a fairly steady day but a good work team on which makes all the difference.

With the time change there is enough daylight left to walk the dog but I'm not sure if there is enough of me to make it so don't tell her that. Oh, here they come, I'm free, I'm free, I'm outta here.
