Open Case File · DAILY-TRIAGE-CODE
Code
Late autumn night after the rain stopped. A single call came into the Orbière Regional Emergency Medical Dispatch Center and was logged as priority two. The caller was Aurélien Bastide, regional emergency medical oversight committee member—a man who'd been filing complaints about this center's triage codes for months. The ambulance worked through three earlier calls before reaching his address. His heart stopped on the hospital emergency ramp. Cause of death: aortic dissection, blood leaking from the torn vessel compressing the heart until it quit. Ask each of the five people on duty that night how that call's priority field came to be marked two.

5 suspects
Lucie MoreauNight dispatch coordinatorTerse late-thirties woman who leads with procedural language. Memorizes queue numbers, rarely adds emotion to speech.
Pascal DurandNight radio communications officerLoud-voiced man in his forties who leads with grievance. Speaks faster when documents bearing his name come up, habit of throwing questions back.
Hélène BouilletNight coordinating physicianDecisive woman in her fifties on clinical judgment topics, speech shortens when conversation shifts to administrative matters. Listens to full question before answering once.
Thibault LambertDispatch center operations supervisorMan in late forties who speaks in document numbers and revision histories. When liability arises, ends sentences with department names rather than personal names.
Camille RocheNight intake/dispatch assistant (trainee coordinator)Quick, clear-spoken woman in her twenties. Eager to distinguish what she did from what she didn't do, seeks confirmation over praise.
