The most important part of this sort of stuff is knowing when NOT to do anything. I have seen many times people who thought they were helping make the situation worse, sometimes much worse. The idea that you can learn to be a paramedic or ER doc over a course is misplaced. Doing some of the stuff that gets taught on these courses can kill people who would have otherwise lived in inexperienced hands and gives the traveler a false sense of safety and competence.
