Hardest part of Mass Casualty Protocol is having to choose which patients will live. You want to do anything and everything to save them all, even the ones you know have little hope, but you have no choice but to basically let them die and focus on saving the ones who have a better chance.

[@ultrajd]

Yep. But sadly you can’t save everyone.

Sounds like you're speaking from experience. I really hope that's not the case. I can't imagine what it must be like to 'let' people go so quickly

[@ultrajd]

@@dompie23 if you mean me yes I am speaking from experience. I was an EMT for a number of years. At one point we had a mass casualty event, which was from a bus colliding with another vehicle. We had probably close to 35 or 40 victims to attend to. All of which, with varying degrees of injury. You want to save everybody but you can’t. Out of all of those people we lost about 12.

Its a process called Triage: you work on those who need it most, and leave those who can be alone for now until you have time left over. The tag system they were talking about is how you classify the casualties - Red needing immediate help, Yellow for medium priority, and Green can be left for now. Black is for those already dead or needs too much work to save. Its not a fun process, even during drills. Especially when one of the green tag patients is screaming and abusing you that they're a yellow, but only have a broken ankle or the like.

This episode of Chicago Med is one of my favorites just because it shows how real mass shootings are and how hospitals have to deal with this. It was the most brutal episode especially seeing kids dying left and right, them filling the morgue up with dead bodies and people in the hospital all bloody. It shows the realistic what happens when mass shootings occur. Also Dr. Charles is my favorite! He knoww how to calm down people in distress!

This was literally what stopped me from being a doctor. I knew I wouldn't be able to emotionally handle the deaths and losses. To think about not only the trauma the patients are going to have, but the doctors too. Especially when they have to just give up on someone without even doing cpr and move to the next almost dead victim. I can't imagine.

[@spdcrzy]

[@qwot1]

I think this is the first TV show that showed an MCI that actually stopped CPR (the correct decision). Usually a show will have a couple of the main actors doing CPR for dramatic effect even though it’s absolutely wrong for MCI / Triage protocols.

[@Comicsluvr]

The makeup people are off the chain in these shows! Everything looks so real!

[@dietotaku]

this might be the only video i couldn't actually watch.

[@PrograError]

well... if anything, TV makeup mostly goes over the top to make it look worse... but blood is blood...

[@LP-ck6qx]

Actually, disaster/injury makeup is called moulage and is used during disaster exercises to help make things more "real" for responders, and can help them experience a surge of adrenalin and stress even when they know it is fake. This helps them learn how to push through those feelings and how to stick with their training. Check with your local agencies, there is always a need for those who know how to apply moulage and for victim/actors who can handle the psychological aspects of it. (Although, tv blood and gore is a stage makeup category all its own and often shows up in horror, action/adventure or first responder shows. Lots of cross over with moulage.

[@OxygenOxy]

The phrase, "This blood is not mine" is horrifying.

[@favouriteK]

I work at a hospital in registration. I have a coworker/friend who does the same thing I do but in the ED. We're in a small city and a few months ago, we had our own mass casualty. I think it was 12 people. He said it was awful to see people rolling in with half their faces gone, and little kids with holes where they shouldn't be. While I wish I could've helped alleviate his pain, I know I would've broken down, not being able to help them. The most we're allowed to do is take their information and run insurance :/

[@ultrajd]

Having worked in the hospital field in the past during a mass casualty event, I can say that yes it is extremely hectic. Although in the case of the event that I was a part of it was a large scale auto accident. Now while I myself was not an ER Doctor or nurse I was actually the guy up in the supply room and grabbing all of the medical equipment that was needed. Regardless, in events like this pretty much the entire hospital stops what they’re doing and prioritizes the mass casualty list. However, the one thing that I cannot stand about this show is the fact that none of these staff members are wearing masks.

[@LittleBitofHopeToo2518]

I can understand that on a TV show. They want people to recognize the actors.

[@MartinFinnerup]

@@LittleBitofHopeToo2518 Yup. It makes perfect sense for a TV show or a movie. If the mask doesn't serve a narrative purpose, ditching it is fine. Besides, if you want to pick it apart for medical inaccuracies, Chicago Med has plenty worse ones!

[@jazzycat8917]

I mean its a tv show, its rule 1 of film making that you never obscure your actors faces unless there is a sufficient narrative reason to do. That includes forsaking true reality in exchange for character clarity.

[@ultrajd]

@@jazzycat8917 I know. I took film production in college. But regardless, I was also a volunteer firefighter and EMT. So unfortunately, with things like that, my brain doesn’t always have the ability to see past the real world stuff.

3:11 when Dr. Rhodes and Dr. Bekker walking together into the emergency room at the same time, their faces show so much emotion on how brutal the emergency room is full of dying and injured people from mass shooting

[@Mary-sh2bp]

Black, red, yellow/orange, green tags. Black is for dead, Red is for critical or immediate care, Yellow/orange is for moderate injury and needs urgent care but can be delayed for about 1 hour, and Green is for superficial injuries or damages and delayed for more than 1 hour but no longer than 3 hours. During these cases, the color system is needed to preserve life.

[@bostontowny4life744]

I absolutely could never do this job. I’d lose my fucking mind. It’s not so much the violence, because I’ve seen violence to war. It’s more being responsible for all the peoples lives. One mistake and it’s my fault they die. On top of the long excruciating hours without breaks. You really gotta love being a healthcare worker to be able to do this.

[@qwot1]

The time a lot of newer EMTs and medics leave is when they first realize that they can figure out what's wrong, do everything right.....and the patient still dies. Especially if it's someone young or they think they SHOULD have been able to save. I know a lot of training exercises where the patient dies at the end of the scenario regardless of how well the student did. Partly to get the students used to having to shift tactics if something stops working; but also to get in their head that some of our patients will die no matter what we do.

[@jinx7501]

Mass casualty triage is horrible. Most of those patients would be black tagged. Normally, we start to work on you if you dont have a pulse and/or breathing. Mass triage requires pulses and breathing on your own after brief stimulation. Even if you have a faint pulse, if you're not breathing then you're black. It's horrible and sounds heartless. But it's reality. Limited resources have to go to people who stand a chance of surviving.

I heard the screams and could do nothing to help except call 9-1-1 and stay put and do my job. The guy I was training asked me how I could be so calm. I told him “because I have to be calm right now. If, and when, I get home later … that’s when I’ll break down. Right now? Get back here and help me because 1) you’re a big target that’s clearly visible. 2) there’s nothing you can do, so you’re just making yourself upset, 3) if someone asks if we were done when we were told to leave … and we WILL be told to leave, I want to say yes.”

[@YaoiChan18]

Pretty easy actually. Providing both need similar degree of treatment I'd choose the child simply because the child if they survive is likely to live longer long term. Speaking out of pure practicality the youth should take priority because without them theres no future. Of course taking into account what that future would look like for the patient is important too. Quality of life after the fact is important to consider.

@@YaoiChan18 So you would have two dead people instead of one.

[@YaoiChan18]

@@LittleBitofHopeToo2518 and I could also have 2 that survive. It all depends heavily on what those percentages really mean. What their condition is, what medical intervention is needed, the time frame for treatment to be effective, what the quality of life is after the fact. Can one of them wait? Do we have what one of them needs; for example a blood transfusion. What if the hospital does not have enough blood on hand for the patient or they have a rare blood type? Regardless I'm not a doctor nor would I want to be so I won't BE in that situation. But if I were, after the facts of the situation I'd prioritize younger patients who are more likely to bounce back than a senior, will contribute to society for far longer than the senior who's life is mostly over at that point, and will hopefully need less long term care because they are healthier and you ger and will recover faster.

[@otaviofrn_adv]

based in the legal system where I live in, answer is the kid. On laws regarding the elderly there is always the word "priority". On the ones regarding kids there is always the term "absolute priority"

Its a tricky one. One might have to choose the elderly woman if she has a better chance of surviving. Might not be able to waste efforts on a boy that might die even with intervention.

I understand protocols and general/safety concerns exist, but I feel like having nurse guide bystanders to at least help with basic things like pumping bags, CPR, or whatnot could be very helpful and save a lot more lives without needing to halt all resuscitation procedures. They'd be protected by good samaritan laws so they wouldn't need to worry, and it'd be volunteer work.

@@giannawest7374 Well obviously we "don't know" but if you have a 1% chance to save someone, but taking that chance means someone who had an 80% chance of living now has a 20% chance, you wouldn't take it. That's just making it likely that more people overall will die. Doctors have to make these kinds of decisions all the time.

And people still wonder why other nations like the UK and Australia banned most gun ownership... This in nations outside the US is a shocking yet rare event, but in the US I imagine it's awfully routine.

Those who advocate for the right to bear arms should be brought in to witness this kind of thing first hand.

[@jack1701e]

I was thinking something similar. The ability to get firearms so easily makes things like this possible, no wonder that in say a British medical show something like this would be a big plot point, a series ender even! But US ones it's just a normal episode, shocking really. But nah, the right to bear arms is more important to the right not to be shot en masse to these people.

[@lezhu6856]

the main argument is that the right to bear arms defends against incidents like this in the first place, as shooters tend to pick "soft" targets who can't fight back. If many people are armed, it makes it more difficult for them. This is not necessarily my personal viewpoint; please don't go after the messenger.

[@MasterVideoStudios]

For what? Its not their fault.

Let me guess, there's an anti gun message somewhere in this episode?

Watch the episode instead of making assumptions.

If these kinds of ”anti gun messages” happen every day in real life then don’t you think that might be some kind of a sign?

[@kiowah231]

Who’s fault is that?

[@alxbran]

I know this is fiction but on the assumption this is based on real hospital protocols…. I don’t care what anyone says, this protocol is absolutely disgusting. Imagine your love one dying b/c someone literally ordered the doctors not to save them. Honestly hope the doctors find themselves on the receiving end. I hope they stay conscious long enough to hear the order to let them die being given.

[@trevorbluesquirrel899]

There's no guarantee they could save them after crashing, and if they tried, other people brought in after them would die from not getting treatment soon enough! Imagine your love one dying b/c doctors didn't treat them quickly enough! Just like in the pandemic, a shortage of ICU beds means they had 2 prioritize who had the best chance of survival! It sucks, but desperate measures and tough calls!

[@hexes5122]

You can see Stohl check her pulse, she was already dead. This is why they teach you to put your emotions to the side when treating patients. You can't sacrifice the needs of the many for the needs of one. Later on in the episode, a young man in the waiting room dies from a brain bleed waiting to be seen. This is exactly why those protocols are in place.

[@thermusaquaticusPCR]

As she said treatment is for the living and CPR is something you do on those who are dead. Even in a hospital only 12% of those who undergo CPR will see themselves leave it. If you choice is struggling desperately to try to save someone with low chances vs saving one or two with high chances you save the most people.

[@retzerclan4345]

I agree that it is disgusting, but I also realize (and accept) that sometimes it has to be done.

[@April-Marie_]

It’s very sad. It is, and no one is denying that. The reality is the woman was already dead. Compressions are for people who are already dead. As it is compressions only resuscitate a small percentage of the time. When you have this many victims, you have to prioritize those with a better chance of survival. They don’t let her die to let her die but because trying to treat her could take away time and resources from someone else who might’ve lived otherwise. It’s a very sad situation. Measures like this could be the difference between 14 deaths and 50 deaths.
