first aid should most certainly be a learned skill....the top of the list is an issue though. You can't give anyone first aid if you've been shot.

I think back on the ocean life guard lessons I received a long time ago. If impact with an object is imminent, always put the person you're rescuing between you and the object because you can't save anyone if you're unconcious yourself.
