A story on Decision Making

Today my CPS (Clinical Pharmacokinetic Service) a.k.a TDM (Therapeutic Drug Monitoring) preceptor was checking her emails and then she shared a story with me. A nice one.

So, I thought of sharing it out too. *wink*

This story is about Decision Making - Train Track and Children (perhaps some of you have heard of it). It's inspiring and gives us an insight in decision making.



Here it goes.



I drew it via Paint =p



A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track.

The train came, and you were just beside the track interchange. You could make the train change its course to the disused track and saved most of the kids.

However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?



Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make...

Analyse the situation...

...

...

Think and reflect...

...

...

Decided your answer!!!!...

...

Now ... go ahead...
