Default Basic Safety Gear-You can't do better!


1) Full time registered nurse! (See, I already won!)




How about an MD?


Depends on what kind of MD. A nurse who works in an Emergency Room and
Critical Care is better than many types of MDs in a crisis, which I'm
sure you're aware of.

Who's the doctor aboard your powerboat?

Really? Can a nurse start an IV, cardiovert, or give life-saving injections
to non-family members, legally and without medical direction? Can your
wife perform a tracheotomy? Can she perform a cut-down if she can't find a
vein? Can she order a helicopter evac? My wife is an RN, incidentally, so
you can't BS your way out of this. I also happen to know that NY's
regulations are stiffer than ours, and our nurses cannot do any of those
things without medical permission.
