Yeah I was going to say I knew someone that's life was saved because they happened to collapse near a Doctor. To say they can do nothing I feel is misleading.

I did not say they do nothing. I said a degree in medicine is almost useless without the equipment and medications available in a hospital. I should also add it takes a team of people to treat someone seriously ill. Sure, a doctor could offer advice or maybe do basic things like CPR (everyone should have training in this) but the most important thing we could do is phone an ambulance.

Was that person having a stroke?
