Jim Macdonald is an EMT in New England and a moderator at Making Light. For some time now he's been writing up "how-to" responses to medical emergencies for laymen. An index to them can be found here. Everyone should read both the posts and the comments (because the comments have specific instances of emergencies and the appropriate responses to them). Maybe read only one a day, but read them. The life you save may be a stranger or a loved one, or you may never have to use the techniques at all, but you ought to know them.
Besides, they're fascinating.
