Thanks - the Parable of the Good Samaritan is a nice example of what we would call First Aid now. Interesting, too, that the injured man was taken to an inn to be looked after, rather than to a doctor, considering the rather bad reputation inns had at the period (if, largely, amongst the classes that provide us with most of our written sources).
