The Power of Gold and Beyond Urgency: The One Man Triage
The United States Secret Service is a United States federal government law enforcement agency that is part of the United States Department of Homeland Security (prior to the founding of that department in 2003, it was under the United States Department of the Treasury).
The Secret Service has over 5,000 employees: 2,100 special agents, 1,200 Uniformed Division employees, and 1,700 technical and administrative employees. Special agents either serve as bodyguards for public officials or investigate financial fraud.
The Service also investigates forgery of government checks, forgery of currency equivalents (such as travelers' checks), and certain instances of wire fraud (such as the so called Nigerian scam) and credit card fraud.

Triage is a system used by medical or emergency personnel to ration limited medical resources when the number of injured needing care exceeds the resources available to perform care so as to treat the greatest number of patients possible.
The word triage comes from the French word trier, which means "to sort".
Much of the credit for modern day triage has been attributed to Dominique Jean Larrey, a famous French surgeon in Napoleon's army who devised a method to quickly evaluate and categorize the wounded in battle and then evacuate those requiring the most urgent medical attention. He instituted these practices while battle was in progress and triaged patients with no regard to rank.
Only perform triage for two or more injured persons. For a single injury, always perform first aid!
In France, the triage in case of a disaster uses a four-level scale:
* DCD: décédé (deceased), or urgence dépassée (beyond urgency)
* UA: urgence absolue (absolute urgency)
* UR: urgence relative (relative urgency)
* UMP: urgence médico-psychologique (medical-psychological urgency) or impliqué (implied, i.e. lightly wounded or just psychologically shocked).
