Everybody should know basic first and should have a good first aid kit in their home and all their vehicles. I'm amazed at the number of parents that don't know basic first aid, even how to treat the cuts and scrapes their kids always get. It's not that hard to learn and doesn't take lot of time either. My SIL's Father had a heart attack 10 years ago and my SIL still feels guilty that he didn't know how to do CPR properly, his Mother didn't either.
