Simulation and surge
Fiction. No real student, family or grade appears.
Multiple patients, a clock, and assigned roles. A second patient's situation changed, two of us went to help, and nobody was assessing the third.
Our timing notes show a ninety second gap where the third patient had nobody.

The equity version of the triage question, scaled from one room to a whole region. Same structure. I noticed the structure this time.
Public health communication fails when the message is accurate but the delivery is unusable.
Our first personas were basically us.
TEAMMATE
Neither of us is an older man with no reliable internet. Half this feature list serves nobody but you.
