Author's Notes: July 9th prompt: Healer's Choice. One person Watson chose not to save.
Corporal Murray had been a medical orderly with the Berkshires long enough to know the process of triage: You are not interested in those who are likely to live without aid. Similarly, those beyond help would have to be abandoned. Only those for whom immediate care might make a positive difference in outcome were supposed to matter. Now was not the first time he faced this bitter choice.
‘Leave me,’ his wounded officer ordered in a laboured whisper, ‘That fellow has a much better chance… At least he can walk.’
‘No sir, Captain Watson,’ Murray replied, ‘You’re coming with me.’

Thanks!
