The Medical Chain
The medical chain is organized in three parts. The personal attributed to each part are identified by a colour armband: red-white-blue. These are the colours of the French flag, and are also the symbol of:
- red: danger zone;
- white: medical zone;
- blue: secured zone (away from the disaster site).

Famous quotes containing the words medical and/or chain:
“There may perhaps be a new generation of doctors horrified by lacerations, infections, women who have douched with kitchen cleanser. What an irony it would be if fanatics continued to kill and yet it was the apathy and silence of the medical profession that most wounded the ability to provide what is, after all, a medical procedure.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and life is after all a chain.”
—William James (1842–1910)
