Why do some people make it a point to brag about their being a "card carrying" individual trained in "CPR". Who cares. The only one would be someone who is trying to show their own credentials. If you are getting a job in the medical field, they have many more qualifications they are looking for. I doubt they ask to see someones certification in CPR. That's probably included in their other licences. Maybe someone in child care needs to prove it. But that's it.
Other than some employers, no one needs to know. Especially the victims! No one is going to doubt someone coming to the rescue to start the Heimlich maneuver when your dinner partner starts choking, or start doing mouth to mouth when your swimming buddy starts drowning OH, that's another one...a lifeguard. They need the license. But not be "card carrying". They don't have to prove to girls that they are lifeguards. The darkened leathery skin and sunbleached hair is the biggest indicator.
I understand having documentation of your qualifications for these jobs, but you shouldn't need to be a "card carrying" person. The only people who care are other people with cards. To me it's like some kids bragging about which baseball cards they have. Sometimes it's the same year and same player, but one as a different brand of card. That the best example i can think of. "Oh you were trained by the fire dept? well i was taught by the milkman...I win! I get to rescue that guy!" Do you think the person dying is going to ask to see the card first?
Maybe they would care if you screwed up and killed them. Then their family would want to know what business you had in touching them. They'd also probably sue the company or group that trained that person.
