I'm actually not much use in an emergency. I'm NOT trained in emergency
medicine, so my reaction to most situations is to reach for a stethoscope
and blood pressure cuff. If I haven't got one, I'm more or less at a loss. I
can probably stabilize a broken limb without doing too much more damage to
it. I can do CPR, but I'm really trained to run a full-out "Code", which you
really can't do in the field unless you have a portable crash cart; not too
many people have epinephrine and atropine in their first aid kits.
