First your character must be atleast level 35.
You must have your First Aid skill at 225.

Go to Ironforge.
Find the First Aid Trainer Nissa she is in a shop right across from the gryphon landing in the great forge area.
Get the quest from her to go to Theramore and visit Dr Gustov.
Travel to Theramore likely to the Wetlands and then to Theramore by ship.
Once in Theramore go to the keep northwest portion of the city if I recall once you come out of the docks take the pathway to the right follow it to the warrior training area then go right to get to the entrance.
Once into the keep go right, then left, he is in the room in the back right corner of the keep.
Go to Dr Gustov and get the quest.

Key requirement is to save 15 injured all the while you will have injured dying - just cant let more than 6 die.

Now here are the tricks:
- Press the "v" key. This will show a title and status bar over all the injured soldiers. This makes it easy to see which soldiers are critical, badly or just injured.
- Step forward through the Dr so you have your character's back to the doctor from this position you will be able to select and heal the patients without moving around.
- Use the bandages the Dr gives you.

Now at first I was confused and wasted alot of time looking for critically injured soldiers - initially there won't be any - only badly injured and injured soldiers. Just work on the Badly injured first.
- Now select a soldier and heal him with the bandages - good idea to put the bandages on a hot key spot just for the quest. The healing takes about 5 seconds for each patient so it is slow.
- Use the time while you are healing wisely. Use it to look around for other patients. Find the Critically and Badly injured soldiers if there are any. While you are healing one soldier you can select your next patient. Once you finish healing one you should have the next one selected and this allows you to press your hot key and imediately start healing the next soldier. Believe me - every little bit of time you can take advantage of will help.

Good luck!

1) be level 35
2) have 225 skill in first aid
3) talk to Nissa in IF (she wouldnt have the ! over her head if you're lvl 60 anyway p) Get quest for extra 3s! yay!
4) Take boat from Wetlands to Theramore. Run straight, past 2 practice things, the building on your right side. Go inside building, turn right, turn left you'll see a room with beds.
5) Talk to Doctor to get quest.
6) Put Triage in hotkey, hit v so you see the names of all soldiers, stand in front of the doctor so you can spin around to see which ones are critical/badly injured/injured.
7) Ignore all critical (should only be 1-2), bandage badly injured first, then injured.

*Note: Bring 75 mageweave cloth and 70 runecloth with you!

8) After you finish quest, the doctor will train you automatically. Make mageweave bandages. Talk to doctor again at 240.
9) 241-260 make heavy mageweave bandages.
10) 261-290 make runecloth bandages.
11) 291-300 make heavy runecloth bandages.

When I did this quest just now, there was a bugged badly injured soldier on the bed third from the left. I kept on bandaging him to no avail since he's like one of those bugged mobs who keep on evading your hits. In the end I had to ignore him and bandage everyone else. You can tell they're bugged because they're stuck there, and they won't get off the bed at all.

You must have 225 First Aid to get this quest and be at least level 35.

I recommend putting the triage bandages on a hotkey or an action bar. Your priority should be to first bandage critical, then badly injured, and then injured.

The reward will be Artisan First Aid. If you want, bring along mageweave and runecloth to get your skill up to 300 while there.
240 - he gives you heavy mageweave bandages
260 - runecloth bandages
290 - heavy runecloth bandagse

alrighty here is how you do this quest step by step. this is for alliance side. first you have to be level 40 before nissa will talk to you in ironforge. all you gotta do to find her is ask any guard where the first aid trainer is. she will send you on a quest for the alliance trauma team. also i had skill level 225 so im not sure if she will let you have the quest with a skill level under that. best bet is to have it maxed. second thing you do is get on a griffin and head to wetlands/menthil harbor. take the boat on the left side of the docks to theramore. get off the boat and go straight like your running to duskwillow marsh. on the right hand side you'll see some soldiers hitting the practice dummies. go in that first castle there and hang a right inside and you'll see the good doctor there in a room with a bunch of beds.&nbsp go up to him and get the quest. you will get a bandage that says. triage bandage and will have 20 charges on it.

now the tricky part is you have to cure the critical first, then badly wounded. then just regular injuried.&nbsp you have to cure 15 patients before 6 of them die inorder to finish this quest. took me a few tries to finish it but i found that when you start to heal one click on the on the next most wounded patient and as soon as the frist one is finished click on the bandage again and that way you can just chain heal with out having to look around first.

you have plenty of time to look around and see which patienst have spawed and which are in more need of care. i hope that guide helps you all.

Okay here's the benefit of my knowledge.
I just completed the advancement.
Took me 4 times to complete it without having too many die.

Just continue the process until you complete the quest.
It might take a few times to get it, but it can be done.

I ended up getting 3k xp for doing this one, even with my level at 51 Warlock.

Took me 2 tries to get it done, like the guest giver says, Crits 1st, then badly wounded, then injured ones.

Found it helpful to drop the quest givers bandages into a hot key, then while you are working on one guy, click on the next guy right next to him. So when you are done with the 1st one, hit your hot key and you can do the 2nd guy immediately while looking around the room for the Critical guys.

I finished after 3 tries the key is to keep track of which regular wounded patients have been there the longest. It's easy to cure critical patients, but in order to succeed you need to know which regular patients are closest to dying, so you can spare some time for them as well.

If you are in a party, others heals count towards yours.&nbsp With 2 people, each person take one side of the room and bandage away.

Would believe that if 2 people in a party can share, then a party of 3-5 people could do it also.&nbsp Would like to test this theory out.

I tried to do by myself once, failed, then partied with a random person there and we were done.&nbsp I had 11 bandages on me at the time, so you don't have to have the full set when partied or reset the quest as long as between the 2 people you have 15 bandages that work.

Make sure that once you accept the quest you start healing right away and heal everyone in site, they all die pretty quickly.&nbsp That is why I failed the first time.

From what I have read in other forums, here are the skill levels to go back and train for the 3 next bandages (from the post I read I don't believe he charges for the training):

240 heavy mageweave
260 runecloth
290 heavy runecloth

I found after failing acouple of time this method.

First spawn right after accepting find the worst injured ones, stand there and start healing one, while that one is being healed, click on the patient next to the one you are healing. once thoes two are healed, go stand in between another 2 sets of beds and pick the patient worse off, then move to the one next to it.

continue this, except remember the pattern you move in, thats the main key. patients will die if left there for too long, but if you remember what pattern of beds you went to, when they spawn they have a certain amount of time before death, so you just run the pattern over and over till completed...
it took me 4 tries to complete this mission solo. i tried the "pattern" and it worked right away easily with only 2 people dying on me. (most that spawned were badly and critically)

Jeez guys, read! You dont have to be level 40 to do it *ANYMORE* You used to but Blizzard lowered req's on 2nd skills a few patches back.

This quest is also part luck. When 3 crits and a badly spawn at once, you arent going to win. When mostly injured spawn almost the whole time, you almost cant lose.

Minimum requirments for this quest are lvl 35 and 225 first aid, if u finish it u get the chance to go to 300(the cap) and als o get a nice bit of XP. If you do as above, and hotkey the bandages , it makes it alot easier, and overall less stressfull. I did it on my second try but i was shaking, its hard being rejected! :P anyway, good luck to anybody attempting this, and conngratulations on getting this far :D!

First, make sure you have the levels (at this posting lvl 35 & xp 225)

1. Highlight the injured. (Somebody help: Alt+9? I remember the number 9.)

2. Put the triage bandages in a numbered hot slot.

3. USE THE KEYBOARD! Stand beside the doctor with one hand on the arrow keys and one hand on the slot number. SPIN! It's insane to try to run around to every victim, clicking on them to determine their condition.

4. Skip Criticals and bandage Badly & Wounded. Criticals waste time & bandages.

I read all of this on this very thread somewhere and did it first try!

I see people stating that you have to go to Ironforge to even get the quest, but of course this is necessary at all. Just go to Theramore and find the doctor inside the Foothold Citadel.

There is no need to cure the critical injured first and move to the badly wounded and so on. Remember that you must cure 15 before 6 die. So you better make sur you heal 15 soldiers real fast ans all goes well.

While healing the first patient, look around you and locate the nearest patient with the worst injuries. Select him (while still applying bandage to your first patient) and when the bar is full, immediately hit your hotkey to apply the next bandage to the second patient. Keep doing this, and if you have to move a little because you cannot reach any patient at all, do so..

I succeeded the second time, because I screwed up with my hotkey and had to make sure the badage was on that hotkey. So remember to open the bag in which you will receive the bandage (you should be able to determine which bag in advance).

Good luck!

Just did this quest last night.&nbsp I'm a lvl 35 warrior, so anything you read that says you must be level 40 is incorrect.

The quest took me about 3 tries before I found a technique that worked for me.&nbsp The quest is that you must heal 15 men before 6 of them die.

Here's what I did:
When you speak to the trauma surgeon and accept the quest, he will give you a roll of "Triage Bandages" they are used for the quest and nothing else.

Make sure you put them in a space on your toolbar that's comfortable for you to use.

I choose a spot directly behind and about 2-3 steps away from the doctor, so as you face him, continue walking forward until your backs are facing each other and you character is facing the back row of bunks.

Keep in mind that bandaging will only be cancelled by actually taking steps in a direction, you can make your character rotate 360 degrees without interrupting the bandaging process.&nbsp

Make sure you keep your toon swiveling around, and only moving if you are too far away from a patient.

Don't worry about "injured" soldiers as much as the critical and badly injured. The latter will die very quickly if you don't see them right away.

After a few tries, you should have it down and pass this quest.

From what I can tell all three (First Aid, Fishing, and Cooking) are avalible at 35 and 225 in that skill, Cooking being the easiest, if you have the money, pretty difficult if you try getting the quest matterials yourself, first aid being cheap and easy if your skilled in targeting quickly and keyboard management, the fishing quest is by far the hardest which is near impossible to do before lvl 40-45 without help from a higher level guarder, thanks to the swamp of sorrows and ferales having lvl 40-45 mobs around the areas you want to fish.

ok my first bit of advice is to press the "v" key so you can always see which patients are the most injured. the "v" key shows you their names which contain their condition.

Also yes you do have to be 225 FA to do this but, there is no lvl 40 requirement. I did this on my lvl 19 twink very easily. Good luck to you and stop posting that u need to be lvl 40 :D

In order to pick up this quest there's no need to go to Ironforge first, you just need to have 225 first aid skill and be at least lvl 35 and can go straight to Theramore.

Once there only one person can do the quest at a time so if someone is currently doing it when you arrive there won't be any exclamation mark or quest txt available from Doctor Gustaf, you will only be able to have him say a little sentence to you with no hint he even has a quest for you. You'll just have to wait for the person before you to finish first.

When doing the quest there's no need to run around the room to each soldier...in fact this will almost certainly result in failure as there's just not the time to run around. You can reach quite far so stand in the middle of the room, just behind Doctor Gustaf and you can just spin round to the next patient.

As said above, definitely pop the triage bandages on a hotkey for this task...saves vital moments.

Also, you can spin round to find your next patient whilst healing the current one so that's excellent to save time as well.

It may take a couple of go's to get the hang of it but you'll get there! Good luck.

The quest must be bugged. I started it and all but two of the beds had guys standing up on them.&nbsp Only two of the beds had guys lying down, the rest stood up the whole time and didn't die.

I just sat near the two beds that were actually working and healed those two beds over and over until I completed it.&nbsp Ah well, would have been more interesting if it was working

You DO NOT have to be level 45 for Triage quest. i just did it at level 42 with 225 first aid. You just have to be level 40 with 225 first aid to get the quest from the trainer in IF. This quest is really easy. When you target the NPC you want to heal,it will say Critically wounded Alliance soldier or injured Alliance soldier and so forth. Just do it in the order it tells you and it will be easy. also it really does help to have the Triage bandages hot keyed.

After 12 times in doing this, I finally did it! (even with a call from my Mum, leading her to be on hands-free)

I put the bandages on hotkey 2 (so that would be my smite as I'm a priest) and they are Triage bandages NOT wool, linen, silk or anything. They are bandages you get from the quest!

You have to be level 40, and a First Aid skill of 225!

You can do this quest quite easily without actually moving. Stand just behind the doctor and heal the ones in sight, leaving the few behind you. I've done this with about 6 characters so far and only had to repeat the first time before I stopped running around to do the healing. Putting the triage bandage the hotbar is essential, as is enabling the labels over characters (V key).

Just a warning ... PUT YOUR WEAPON BACK ON THE HOTBAR WHEN YOU'RE DONE ... I found from experience that attacking a lvl 36 spider with a triage bandage doesn't bring a happy ending !

The best way to go at this quest is heal them in the order the trainer tells you but try and remember how long everyone has been there. Keep an eye out for the chat bubbles from the ones that are about to die and heal em quick. Also if you fail the quest, clear your inventory of the triage bandages before trying again or the trainer will not give you more bandages.

This quest was easy. Failed first time, succeeded second time, solo. There's nothing to it. Just stand in the middle of the beds, and treat the critical patients first, then badly wounded, then light. No need to run from patient to patient. Just stay put and always treat critical patients first when they spawn. Easiest XP ever earned. BTW, don't click that lifehit link below. Has nothing to do with this game. It's spam.
