Imperial Medical Casualty Category Chart (Warhammer 40k)
My wargaming blog with more info can be found here gotflag.blogspot.com
This is essentially a poster that one might see dotted around aid posts and barracks across the Imperium, instructing (or reminding) medical personnel of how to triage casualties on the battlefield (prioritisation of care based on severity of wounds and injuries to enable maximum efficiency).
I am considering a slight rejig of the system to make it more "grimdark" (yet still workable) in making reverse triage standard, this is often used by real-world militaries in wartime to keep the maximum number of soldiers on the field, so they treat the minor ones first to get them "fighting fit" and then save the severe ones if they can. I imagine in 40k there would be less effort to save the severe ones.
A must for all Imperial medical personnel, from medics and nursing staff to the Chirurgeon-General.
