Talk:First Aid/Heart Attack & Angina

Double Standard
Isn't it a double standard to say "Do not administer a patient medication" then come back and say "If trained, give 300mg of Aspirin." Regardless, first aiders will not be trained in giving medication, so why even add it?--Nugger 01:31, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * It should be "assist victim in taking 1 dose of Aspirin if they decide to do so" or something. Be bold!  – Mike.lifeguard  | talk 02:15, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe that we should reword to favour administration. Aspirin is a life saving intervention for chest pain, and has very few contra indicators - standard training in the UK usually includes Aspirin.  Owain.davies 11:14, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Administering medication is a controlled medical act; if you want, put in a regional note.  – Mike.lifeguard  | talk 11:18, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
