How to deal with crappy people

- Steve Saville - Speculative Investor

A hospital emergency ward has a doctor or intern responsible for triage to “determine the priority of patients' treatments based on the severity of their condition. This rations patient treatment efficiently when resources are insufficient for all to be treated immediately.” (Wiki)

Of course, this makes sense, but someone had to invent this process. During the 1800’s, increasing larger battles involving tens or hundreds of thousands of troops created more casualties than a handful of army surgeons could effectively treat. They found through trial and error that they could save the largest number by dividing the wounded into three groups, hence the ‘tri’ in triage.

1) Those who would die if the received help or not
2) Those who would live if they received help or not
3) Those who would live only if they received help

The doctors treated the last group first and the remainder only after they were finished with that group. Regardless of the selection error rate, triage saved the greatest number of patients.

I practice triage socially and divide people into three groups.

1) People who are beyond help
2) People who are ok
3) People who can be helped

I concentrate on the 3rd group. Why waste time on people who cannot be helped or don’t need it? It sounds cold and cruel, but with limited time and effort, it helps the greatest number of people.

Once in a while I fall into the trap of interacting with someone I should ignore, but I’m usu... Read More
