I'm reminded of that old joke about a man collapsing and a woman
bending over to help, only to be pushed aside by a (MX-like) character
who said "stand back, I am trained as a first responder." She said
"Good, when you get to that part that says call a doctor, I'll be
right here."


Not even a joke really.
My dad WAS a doctor, and he was called to the scene of an accident one day. A
worker had fallen off a roof, and possibly broken his back or neck. When my dad
got there, there was a guy in a sort of khaki uniform giving orders, telling
everyone what to do, and preparing to pick the patient up. When my dad went to
the patient to perform some basic workup, to find the extent of his injuries,
he was pushed away by the guy in charge, who told him he had the situation
"under control". Not being one to be brushed away like that he asked the
identity of the man in uniform - he was a local milk deliveryman. The dairy had
decided only a short time earlier it would improve their "patriotic" image to
have their drivers dress in nearly military garb. Maybe MX's dad?
