How many of you are currently CPR certified, and does your school/dojo require it ?

Honestly -- the doc might have been wrong, either in the standards of care for the EMT service, or simply for being in the field rather than ER/surgery.
Not in this case. Reducing a femur fracture to restore circulation is the same in a ditch or the ER. And the irony is absolutely priceless.

This surgeon, I will say, is also a really nice guy (not always the case - surgeons have a somewhat deserved reputation for wearing a necktie to prevent the foreskin from sliding up...). So he didn't say anything. He just smiled at the medic next time they brought someone in on his shift...
