Explaining pandemic triage: When a picture is worth 3000 words

Triage Comic

"Ethics and its implications for healthcare delivery under constraints of scarcity are not simple concepts, even for those working within the healthcare system.  It’s time for ethicists to make a concerted effort to communicate these concepts to a broader public audience... Toward that end, six clinical ethicists from different disciplines and areas of the country, along with an illustrator with a master’s degree in Health Communication, worked together to create an illustrated handout to explain basic concepts of public health ethics relevant in a pandemic."
