'''''Triage''''' is an American [[procedural drama|procedural]] [[medical drama]] television series. The series follows a group of doctors, nurses, and medical staff working within a high-pressure emergency department, where every decision carries immediate and lasting consequences. Unlike traditional real-time formats, the series unfolds across shifting timeframes—ranging from single days to weeks or months later—allowing for a broader exploration of both professional and personal fallout.

The series focuses on the concept of triage not only as a medical practice, but as a psychological and ethical burden. Staff are forced to determine who receives care first, who can wait, and who cannot be saved, while navigating systemic challenges such as overcrowding, limited resources, and institutional pressure. As cases escalate in severity and complexity, the line between clinical detachment and emotional involvement becomes increasingly difficult to maintain.

''Triage'' has been noted for its grounded tone, character-driven storytelling, and emphasis on consequence-based narrative progression. The series explores the long-term impact of emergency medicine on healthcare workers, including burnout, moral conflict, and the lingering weight of critical decisions.
