Scenario

Scenario :
You are in charge of a medium-sized hospital. At 2:00 this morning, an 8.2 earthquake struck the city in which your hospital is located.

Throughout the day the hospital experienced a number of successive structural failures that have led to fires, exposed electrical wiring, and other imminent dangers. After several hours of trying to do the best you can for your patients in the deteriorating conditions, it is clear that you will soon need to evacuate. While prioritizing the transfer of patients to other less affected health facilities, you are informed that the roads leading to the hospital have been severely damaged, making it very difficult for ambulances to reach you.

Many of the patients can move under their own power, but quite a few of them cannot be moved in conventional vehicles and must be transported by ambulance. You must decide how much longer you will wait and continue to put yourself and the other doctors and nurses at risk before you get yourselves to safety. Leaving before the ambulances arrive will likely remove any chance of survival for your immobilized patients.

As you realize this, a maintenance worker runs up and informs you that the structural damage is worsening. Although your staff are extremely conscientious about their responsibility, you believe that they would be divided on the decision of leaving or staying.
