It is a bad idea to administer oxygen without training.  The patient is
likely to die or suffer brain damage.  Go back and capitalize "likely."

The  requisite  minimal  training  is  provided in an American Red Cross
First Responder course, essentially a 21-hour standard first aid course,
plus  about  10  hours  of  oxygen  therapy, insulin shock/diabetic coma
treatment, a few other subjects.   I  assume  ANY  divemaster  or  scuba
instructor  should  know  that much.  It don't cost hardly nuthin.  Call
your local chapter.  This announcement not paid for by anybody...
