Medics to the Rescue

I was reading a lengthy article about the lack of school nurses putting children's lives in danger when I realized something: the solution is to send a medic. I could easily have handled every emergency situation listed in the article. Someone with an EMT-Basic license, while not as qualified as a nurse is cheaper and capable of handling emergency situations. The medic doesn't even need to be a full-time medic; a teacher could learn CPR, take the EMT course and provide emergency support for the students. I admit that perhaps EMT training alone would not be sufficient for someone to know how to properly administer medicine but at the very least children wouldn't die as frequently in the emergency situations listed.
