When I lived in New Jersey, there were a number of older high school students in my town who were on the local volunteer first aid squad (The TV series “Emergency” was a great recruiting tool in the seventies). My father was the lieutenant on the first aid squad as well as an EMT instructor, and they were some of his students. Some had a decent kit in the back of their cars. I just wonder if these days the same kit would violate the “zero tolerance” policies.

In one case a student got injured in one of the shop classes. The call went out over the PA system for certain. students to get to the shop. By the time the ambulance arrived, the patient was ready to be transported.

Astronauts Mark and Scott Kelly volunteered on the West Orange, NJ, First Aid Squad when they were in High School in the early 80s and worked with me on a paid EMS service. I know Mark is reviled here for his anti-gun stance but they were nice guys and those were good times.
