[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2697816, member: 97050"] Raising the baseline is good if it’s realistic. The hero complex people have isn’t a good thing. If you have the training then you already know at what point a lost cause is. Triage involves recognizing the same…if it hurts nothing then of course, you can try, but like I said, it’s more beneficial to mentally prepare yourself. Training: Non-actual 8 hour BLS course certainly is not training. The problem is the things I said also come from experience unfortunately. I’ve been to the same socm course as that PJ. “Training” requires being very involved in what CPR is, its limits, and if you wish to help, training past its limitations, both for the first responder, and for medical staff. Even so, trained people are still idiots. Unfortunately, nothing really trumps experience. It’s why they send us to live tissue labs before combat deployments. Mountain medicine, is another issue. You need to be good at mountaineering before you can grasp the reality of how to navigate medical emergencies in those conditions. Part of being good at that means no one has to tell you to bring medications for your heart condition. Or that you shouldn’t be able on that mountain in the first place. We use to call medical advice like that; a physical. [/QUOTE]
