The dilemma

You are sheltering in a bombed-out farmhouse in the Hurtgen Forest. It is November 1944. Rain is pouring through the shattered roof. Your three wounded soldiers need attention: Thompson has a leg wound, Garcia has shrapnel in his shoulder, and Webb has a concussion. A German soldier lies against the far wall with a gut wound, losing blood fast. You have enough morphine for three patients and enough bandages for four, but the gut wound will use most of your surgical supplies. Private Davis stares at the German: '{{NAME}}, that's the sniper. He killed Miller this morning.'

Your options

  1. Treat your own soldiers first. They are your responsibility and supplies are limited.
  2. Treat the most critical patient first regardless of uniform. Triage by medical need, not nationality.
  3. Stabilize everyone with basic care first, then allocate surgical supplies to whoever has the best chance of survival.

The Battlefield Letter

A wounded German soldier lies in your farmhouse. Your medic just told you he's the sniper who killed Miller this morning.
