I get the impression he wants to keep it simple to use and to maintain. He most likely won't get CME or refresher training at this point. I'm ATLS qualified. I CAN and have performed surgery. Under Good Samaritan laws, I can administer any emergency med, anytime - anywhere, even if I have to perform a venous cut-down to do it. Big Sarge doesn't need 98% of that. I'm giving him input, commensurate with his level of training & experience, because he recognized his limitations when he said "I guess this means I have enough knowledge to really screw things up." Recognizing one's limitations was a part of my military medical oath as was sharing one's medical knowledge with those who seek it. If Big Sarge's end of this public discussion; however, turns to exceeding his limitations (e.g. I do have a few things that are illegal to administer without a medical license but in an emergency....), please understand if I bow out of the conversation.
