An AF member does what no one else did

Yeah, administering first-aid on-scene takes sang froid as well as skill and knowledge.

You know what they told us at every given opportunity? Doing nothing is worse than doing something. I don't know about American rules and legislation, but when you apply for a drivers license, you have to attend a first aid course beforehand. Without that and the certificate that comes with it, you aren't accepted into any driving school.

They certainly didn't do any of that when I got a license.

Also, at work, they told us not to touch another person if possible because of "blood borne pathogens" - basically try to make the injured person hold the cloth/whatever to the wound in order to not catch anything from them.

I'm ashamed of my country sometimes.
