Yep, this really pisses me off. I’ve had quite a bit of “drink” tonight and my gf of four years left me. Still, though, I don’t like the thought of playing god with people’s lives.

Whatever happened to saving lives—as many as possible?

Still, though, I don’t like the thought of playing god with people’s lives.

That is why they make the list.

In a situation such as a pandemic the need for medical care increases maybe in a geometric progression but the medical care resources can not. Some medical professionals will succumb to the disease and so the available medical care will actually decrease.

The list described will provide guidance to medical decision makers in a very difficult position. Someone will have to decide who will receive life saving care when there is not enough to go around.

This list will do more than decide who gets medical care it will also provide legal cover for those in the unenviable position of making those decisions. We all know that after the crisis is over the trial lawyers will be chumming the waters for clients disgruntled that some relative did not receive care.

This list will hopefully provide necessary cover for these people who will have to make decisions under very stressful conditions.
