A basic first-aid/CPR class here takes 4-5 hours and costs around 60$, so it's not cheap either.

The only things we covered was CPR, arm/leg injuries (protect the wound and keep the injured body part from moving, basically), eye injuries (protect, etc... if eye is punctured, make the victim lie down at all costs to avoid losing some fluid that cannot be replaced synthetically), that's about it...

I am in the same boat... If I want some more, in-depth first-aid training, I'll need to sign up for a wilderness first-aid kit, which lasts 3 days... (200$+). <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
