it means triage of patients has been instituted. Death Panel Duzey's new plan.
As a former infantry soldier I always considered triaged care as a possibility as part of my chosen profession.
It just cranks me that incompetent Trump ass-kissing Duzey has led Arizona into this crisis. It didn't have to be so.

(12,866 posts)the entire document. Incredible. It looks like a family can appeal a triage score but I didn't read anywhere the family will actually be informed of the score.
I will continue my Gin Medical program.
Stay safe and informed.

(16,616 posts)And thanks for posting this. Although I'd read it, my mind blocked it out because it was so hideous. But it really needs to be addressed.

(8,086 posts)The GOPers always warned us of "death panels."
They neglected to tell us though that they'd be the ones to implement them.
Nauseating.
