Prioritise treatment when a tiger runs amok (6)
I believe the answer is:
triage
'prioritise treatment' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'a tiger runs amok' is the wordplay.
'runs amok' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'tiger'='atiger'
'atiger' with letters rearranged gives 'TRIAGE'.
'when' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for triage that I've seen before include "Sorting and allocating aid on the basis of need" , "Hospital reception" , "Determination of patient priority for treatment" , "Selection and allocation for medical aid" , "Assignment of urgency to illnesses" .)
