Being a former Boy Scout, we were always tought “First Aid” - basic emergency care until medical professionals arrived. I always wondered, is there a “second aid”? Is that what a medical doctor provides? If an MD or an EMT is the first on the scene, is it then no longer First Aid? Of is it “First” aid only because you are supposed to do it before other things, like say finishing your ice cream or stealing the guys wallet.
What’s the Straight Dope?
