What's your benchmark for why 10 is good? Triage level one is already in effect, level 2 is potential bad, 3 is like stitches, ab pain but not critical .... 4 is basically for vague complaints.
There's more nuance here than critical and non-critical, plus resources available impact it too (e.g. physicians available, beds, etc.)
