How about an MD?

Several here in this group, I suspect you wouldn't even be
tied for 3rd.

As for the long list of supposed equipment, that's good but
safety is not something you can put on your credit card
(assuming you have one in real life).

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.

Who said it was? I listed the gear and the fact remains that my boats
sail more often than any here, with many many guests. Most accidents
happen close to shore, often with new sailors aboard. Dockside also
sees plenty of injuries....because people FEEL safe.
100% safety record after 12 years of sailing with so many people goes a
bit beyond luck, Doug. We're careful and respect the water.

Actually that's not a "fact" but then it's fairly well
proven that you are one of those neurotic types who believe
your own BS.

Sure, it's easy to "be safe" when you never go anywhere.

OTOH if you had really spent much time on the water,
especially around a major metro area, you would have had
many occasions to help others. Most real sailors here have
participated in a rescue at one time or another.

Empty bragging about how you've never had an accident
doesn't impress people who have saved lives at sea; but then
that's just one of the many things you don't understand
about sailing.

Compared to some old corpsman, her knowledge base is up to date.
Working in emergency and critical care means she sees action all the
time...more than most corpsmen to be sure.

Corpsman are first responders, just like EMT. Nurses work in clinical
settings. In the field the EMT/Corpsman has the upper hand.

Suzy can probably juggle bedpans with more alacrity!
