Well, John, the best first aiders are St Johns ambulance....as I said nurses are too used to having equipment to hand...that, and once you qualify, someone from the legal department comes and tells you how Joe Public can sue you to infinity.....and beyond, if you get it wrong. This really put me off going to the aid of someone in the street.
We are deemed 'responsible' because we have had training...so if your CPR doesn't work you can find yourself up in front of the beak/coroner and asked to explain what you did, why you did it, and how much experience you have had in the past in such endeavours.
So I pull my collar up and forget I know anything medical.
Maybe gynn will call me a callous B too.
