Those who are interested in preparedness usually aquire skills above the average. Maybe this is why they often are able to help others. This is prone to put them in situation where they actually help.
I am an instructor for first aid, CPR and AED. When I can I go as medic to events. I also received training in a technical unit of a rescue squad (volunteers). I helped in the basic training there.
Even those who donīt plan to join a volunteer unit should get some training. If they donīt use it to help others they could at least reduce the load of those who do. Remember that statistics say that your home is the most dangerous place as most accidents happen there <img src="images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.
