there you go. that's the crux of a 2 day $120 dollar first aid course

Except that one is likely to remember the course material, whereas an
email is in one eye and out the other. (Except for me: I have only one
usable eye.)

I think everyone should do an EMT course, though mine was so long ago
that evidently the name has changed to First Responder. I don't think
it cost very much either. It lasted a whole lot longer, something like
three months, one night a week. Very valuable.

My daughter the sailor takes these wilderness medicine courses and
finds them useful. It is the closest thing to what a sailor
encounters. I should think a pilot is in much the same boat (as it
were). The problem with EMT training is that it assume the doctor or
hospital is only half an hour away, and this is not the situation for
a boat at sea or a plane in the woods.
