Abilities in terms of the skill of the person? Or in what they're allowed to do?
I've seen good *and* bad chirurgeons, some I'd trust on a bet, and some "band-aid slingers" I wouldn't trust at all. If the people that have better skills feel they can do better, then my advice to them is *do* better - become a Chirurgeon, and set that bar higher for everyone else.
Of the Chirurgeons I know, four are mundane MD's, including an Air Force / NASA flight surgeon, two trama docs, and a GP. One farmount, is a DVM, Several are nurses, a LOT are EMTs. And there's a lot of first aiders like me. So you have a wide range of skills and experience.
You have to understand though - the SCA only allows one to practice Basic First Aid. That's what the insurance allows. Anything more than BFA, and one is doing it "off baldric", using their mundane certifications and qualifications
My certification? ARC Adult/Child/Infant First Aid and CPR, (have to renew in a month). Qatari Red Cresent First Aid / CPR. Wilderness and "when help is delayed" First Aid (ARC), Pet First Aid/CPR (The cat and dog practice dummies were funny). I have maintained the ARC certification up to date and current since 1998. Thinking of taking the ARC First Responder course next time around though. :-)
