[QUOTE="C-130 Dude, post: 2836476, member: 122991"] Let me take this one at a time: Hero complex, I'm not. But some are. Often to the detriment of others. "We" is an inclusive statement for us humans. All of us that participate in any activity that hazards us. When I was 9, I saw 30 people watch two people die from minor injuries. The medics said that both could have been easily saved if someone had stepped up with the most basic of first aid. They died from what is the most often ignored issue: shock. Every person there had coats and cold gear. They could have helped. In this case, something was better than nothing. I do have my Advanced First Aid and EMT cert. For me, it's an imperative. I highly suggest others get trained, its worth it. The best emergency training I ever got was that which I never had to use. I spent 22 years on active duty and learned about care for my brothers and sisters. We had to. We wanted to. Some of that knowledge haunts me to this day. But I will never forget. Most people that succumb to massive trauma can't help themselves. "We" can only hope that someone is around to call 911 and implement what they can until EMT gets there. If they can. [/QUOTE]
