Simpson, an A&E doctor in the largest hospital in town, was called to the duty counter.

Just when he thought what would be a normal enquiry, he was told there's a multi vehicle accident involving 6 cars and they are required to admit 20 casualties as one of the vehicle is a bus full of passengers and they have 10 minutes to prepare.

Hearing this, Simpson immediately do a headcount of his staffs. He instructed them to leave what's non critical and be on standby.

Luckily for Simpson, he has an additional 3 houseman rotated to A&E and his first introduction to them is simple : "As a doctor, especially in A&E, whatever matters that don't affects chances of survival of your patients then it's not critical"

I think this applies well in life, we all have our individual priorities in life. We usually make our decisions based on the criticality of the tasks we are given, if it is not on the top of the list and without that item out of the way we cannot proceed with the rest, then anything below that issue is not critical.

So many times we heard reasons for people putting off action as it's not critical to them, but it's their priority that set them on to this decision.

Do you concur?
