In a huge medical emergency, when people essentially desperately pleading for a ramp-up of the effectiveness of medical personnel, it's kind of mind-boggling that the only answer you're giving is sneering at how little the layman knows (and yeah, that seems like a standard answer doctor in the US are going give).

And, yeah, maybe I know little of what exactly ICU processes are but it seems indeed implausible that there are no intermediate levels of skills that are the slightest bit helpful, just about physical task can aided by a "third hand" etc.

> Of course, it flies in the face of a common sense view that someone careful, able to follow orders, just hold things or press button etc would provide some use in a world where the doctors are fundamentally limited.
